The documentation for cygwin-console-helper.exe is missing, not even a
--help function.  No comments in the source code.  Only a code.google
page for mintty[1] was beneficial to allow me to understand it and then
it was a late entry comment that sort of explained the purpose.  I will
revisit this issue with a source code patch to add comments.
