We attempted to use rxvt, but the issue is that the application that
is running uses F key's that don't appear to map correctly when using
rxvt, but do work when using the normal cygwin shell.

The root of the question is though, why doesn't the standard shell
handle the ESC(B code correctly?  This is a bug is it not?
