Ah.  Right, that's because the pty is in 'cooked' mode by default, and
needs to be changed to 'raw' if you want to process individual
keystrokes.  You can't do this from a MinGW program since it cannot
communicate to the Cygwin pty, but you can do it with 'stty' before
invoking your program, e.g.

$ stty raw -echo; ./yourapp; stty cooked
