MinTTY & PuTTYcyg (was: Re: rxvt slow to get the prompt ...)

It's not. It's a much modified fork of PuTTY's terminal emulation and
Windows frontend parts, but it uses a different approach from PuTTYcyg
for connecting to Cygwin. PuTTYcyg invokes a separate helper process
that links to the Cygwin DLL, whereas MinTTY is itself a Cygwin app.
