And best of all, it's MinTTY fresh, not MedicineTTY.

ME = STILL GOT IT. ;-)

PS: File drag and drop is total coolness.  It pastes in a Win32 path though,
which a few Cygwin apps probably won't be able to handle.  Here's a
two-for-one idea, free of charge:

- Add a setting where the user can set whether he wants Win32 or POSIXy
paths dropped.
- Add a context menu when you right-drop which allows you to "Drop path as
Win32" or "Drop path as POSIX".
