I don't think that's fair, since such apps were designed for the
Windows console, without being aware of Cygwin's pipe-based ptys. And
unfortunately that list would be very long anyway: basically anything
interactive that hasn't been explicitly adapted to Cygwin ptys, for
example by disabling buffering and not relying on the console's
history facility.

Speaking of which: somebody on the mintty mailing list would like to
make a Windows program Cygwin-aware by detecting whether it's running
in a Cygwin terminal (as opposed to having its input or output
redirected to plain pipes). Does anyone know a way to do this?
