I have no problem with a Cygwin option. Should it be more general, though?
Something like:
set CYGWIN=codepage:oem
Hmm. This is the second time I've suggested something like this and there
is no facility in environ.cc for parsing something like foo:enum. That
would probably be a nice addition.
Can anyone think of a better idea than 'codepage'? 'charset', maybe?
