Note: This is an old post in a blog with a lot of posts over a long
span of time. The world has changed, technologies have changed, and
I've changed. It's likely this is out of date, the code doesn't work,
the ideas haven't aged well, or the ideas were terrible to begin with.
Let me know if you think this is something that needs updating.
Mark Edgar's PuTTYcyg
patch is awesome. I've always had difficulties
with the Cygwin console and using PuTTYcyg makes me happier.
Definitely worth looking at if the Cygwin console issues (resize issues,
fonts, copy/paste issues, ...) make life irritating.
