Having ported pdcurses, the latest ncurses, and slang to cygwin 32, I am
aware that there are problems with the cygwin console.
Just as a reality check, I have an old Borland compiler on CD-Rom, and I
am in the process of porting slang via bcc using the Unix configuration
and defines as the basis. The resulting slang.dll will be statically
linked to bring in the Borland console, and I will use the cygwin
dlltool.exe program to generate a cygwin import library. If all goes
well, it will be possible for me to compile things that use slang under
cygwin and have the Borland console in place.
I think that will be the stopgap measure until things like the cygwin
console and cygwin `gethostbyname' calls are cleaned up.
