I am pretty sure you'll get nasty lossage from, e.g., GDB thinking it's
not connected to a terminal.  Error messages will show up after
prompts, and questions will be suppressed.

Actually, if those are the only two, we could probably make the mingw32
GDB cope.  Joel posted a patch once to set the buffering.  And I could
probably put together a GDB-specific isatty that could tell if we were
connected to a Cygwin terminal - I know how to do that.

Interesting idea... doesn't really change my question in the previous
message, but a very interesting idea.
