  From Google searches and some experience, it appears that it's a
long-standing situation that, if you run the mysql.exe client program
under mintty or rxvt from Cygwin, then mysql figures that it's not on
an interactive terminal and therefore does not prompt.  Is there yet
any workaround other than simply using cmd.exe instead?  (In mintty,
BTW, "cmd /c mysql ..." doesn't prompt, presumably for the same reason
that mysql alone doesn't prompt.)
