My suggestion was to use the lpReserved2 CRT block to send fake filetype
information, but there's something better.

Ugly, only half-implemented, but better: a hook-based pseudoconsole system =
for
Windows. I got as far as implementing the actual console system hooks, but
didn't wire them up to anything (like Cygwin ptys). I was about to start wr=
iting
a test suite for it and got distracted. In principle, something like this m=
akes
it possible to also grant job control to groups of regular windows processe=
s.
(Since you then know which ones belong to which process groups.)

I have no idea whether this even builds anymore. I haven't compiled it in m=
onths.
