[ANNOUNCEMENT] [1.7] Updated: cygwin-1.7.0-49

[Andy Koppe]

Me scribbled:
>>> - When running Cygwin applications in the Windows console window, the
>>>   Backspace key now returns ASCII DEL (^?, \177) instead of ASCII BS
>>>   (^H, \008).  The Control-Backspace key now returns ESC-DEL (^[^?,
>>>   \033\177) or \377, dependent on the meta mode set by the setmetamode
>>>   utility, rather than DEL.  Control-Space now returns ASCII NUL.
>>>   These changes should running emacs in a console window support better
>>>   and improve compatibility with the Linux Console and xterm.

Sorry, just noticed that cgf did in fact make that change.

Might be that stty needs rebuilding then, since that uses CERASE.
