raw-win32-keyboard-mode patch

[Egor Duda <deo at logos-m dot ru>]

Hi!

  i   wrote   a   program   called "ttyfier" which allows starting any
win32  console    application   (or attaching to the existing one) and
 work   with  it  via  cygwin's  tty  interface. basically, this means
that you can start any console    application  (including dos programs
in ntvdm)  on   remote machine  via Corinna's port of openssh and work
with  it  interactively (a-la pcAnywhere).

i'll  announce it shortly in cygwin list and post it on my home page.

this   program   requires,  however,  a  small  support  feature  from
cygwin1.dll,  which  is  implemented in this patch. Sending \033[2000h
sequence  to cygwin console makes it switch to "raw-win32" mode, where
every win32 keyboard event is translated to \033{x;y;z;t;u;vK sequence
where   in  x, y, z, t, u and v  the  fields  of  KEY_EVENT_RECORD are
encoded. \033[2000l turns raw-win32 mode off.
