According to https://www.cmrr.umn.edu/~strupp/serial.html "*Timeouts are 
ignored in canonical input mode or when the/NDELAY/option is set on the 
file via/open/or/fcntl/."*

This leads me to believe the current cygwin implementation is not 
correct. Changing the VMIN and VTIME should have no effect on the read() 
behavior if the file was opened with O_NOBLOCK.
