According to what Ken wrote, emacs won't work as well. This would be very 
distressing, though I haven't verified it personally.

According to one whole trial it's large enough to convince brltty not to 
deal with the window. This is suggestive but hardly conclusive. I'll try 
again...

>Has anyone tried running brltty without setting CYGWIN=tty?

Just now. So far I haven't noticed any problems but this is even less 
significant. I guess "notty" was meant to say that tty should not be 
mentioned at all in the $CYGWIN variable. I'll remove it and see what 
happens.
