The switch to mintty, simply. Brltty uses ReadConsoleOutputCharacter()
to get the text from consoles, I bet mintty does not implement this.
Lars thus needs cygwin to be able to run from a standard windows console
too.

Install brltty, and run
brltty -b xw
When the focus is on a windows console, a window on the top of the
screen will show up, representing the output that would show up on a
braille device.

Try to switch to mintty, the window will disappear, because
ReadConsoleOutputCharacter will stop working.
