Yes, it works.  Thank you!  But I think that interactive programs
using stdin and stdout should be useful without wineconsole.  stdin should
not be closed, and of course the programs should not think that it's COM1.
But I think we'll need to look at Cygwin sources to know what each side
thinks about the other side.

That almost certainly requires a closer look at Cygwin sources.  My guess
their implementation of fork() may be OS specific and full of workarounds,
especially for Win9x.
