There's an ancient and pointless argument about whether the Backspace
key should send ^H (0x08) or ^? (0x7F).


Actually, this holy war can be bypassed, without sacrificing Emacs
correctly working on a console.  What the console should send for that
is the <Backspace> function key.

Makes sense to me. Andy, is there any reason all cygwin terminals shouldn't do this (including mintty)? This already happens under X, and users would then have consistent behavior.
