How about not providing gdbtui at all, not even a shell script?
Hmmm, maybe a little extreme?
On the other hand, would it work if the script was called from
a MinGW shell as well? I am pretty sure it'd work on cygwin
platforms, and maybe it would be the same with MinGW shells?
(I haven't looked at the patch yet).
