Running boxes under strace shows that it is trying to open a file named "-" and 
exiting because that file doesn't exist.

The version of boxes in the Cygwin distro is very old, so I don't think it's 
worth the trouble to debug this.  I just downloaded and built the latest 
release, and it seems to work fine.

I've added the boxes maintainer to the Cc in case he wants to update the package.
