The following minor addition to cygwin allows compilation of inetutils
without requiring modification of the code to emulate sigpause().  I
won't be horribly offended if it isn't included but it is something I've
been meaning to submit for about six months and it is very minor.

I added this in the course tracking down a telnetd/login problem.
login.exe is not echoing characters typed after the login: prompt.
Once logged in, zsh no longer echoes either.  When I run a program
like 'vi' or 'less' cause the connection to terminate.

I believe that this may have been a problem since Ian's changes to tty
handling but I don't know for sure since I rarely telnet to my system and
can't remember exactly when I first noticed this.

I've tried rebuilding inetutils with the latest snapshot with the same
results.

Sergey, does login echo correctly for you when you telnet into an NT system?
Has anyone else noticed this problem?

	* cygwin.din: Add a function.
	* signal.cc (sigpause): New "compatibility interface" to sigsuspend
	function.  inetutils assumes that sigpause is universally available.
	* newlib/libc/include/sys/signal.h: Add sigpause function declaration.
