Cygwin does this already for 230400 baud.  See fhandler_serial.cc.

No.  This would needlessly break backward compatibility.  The way to
go is to define new Bxxx values in termios.h and support them in
fhandler_serial.cc, which is what Brian already said.
What's left at this point is just http://cygwin.com/acronyms/#SHTDI.
