I'm pretty certain that the VINTR character is not actually remappable
under Cygwin unless you are using CYGWIN=tty.  It is probably misleading
since the termios call will seem to work but the interrupt character will
still be CTRL-C.

The reason for this is that, AFAIK, Windows offers no way to remap this
character so you need a special "driver", like what CYGWIn=tty provides
to properly handle this.

If anyone is aware of a way to remap CTRL-C under the Windows console,
I'm willing to look into changing this.
