Yeah, I agree, but I am worried that stdio handlers (such as stdout) 
should be set before any writes to them, so we should set the flag 
(cygwin_tty) at the early stage of GDB start up (before command 'set 
windows-os-tty on' is processed).  If it is not a problem, I am fine.

I am looking at Corinna's example to see how to detect GDB is running in 
Cygwin's TTY.  If it works, probably we can get rid of this new GDB 
option completely.
