As mentioned in the announcement
(<http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-announce/2004-04/msg00000.html>), you need
to have "tty" in your CYGWIN environment variable.  This needs to be set
*before* the shell is started, so good places would be /Cygwin.bat or the
system environment (i.e., don't do this in shell startup files).

This should really be in the Cygwin-specific emacs README -- Joe, are you
reading this?  Barring that, this may be good FAQ fodder.
