Actually, I was referring to windows console. And no, I don't think you
could do something about it.

But honestly, I don't think it's worth supporting windows in general
and cygwin in particular. And before anyone (again) asks why am
_I_ doing it: I'd have to do my job with Perforce otherwise (as if
windows wasn't bad enough...)
