Hmm. So we have a choice for the cygwin version, for choosing the
default dos cp when the user specifies -iso and doesn't explicitly
specify the cp: either
1) follow the unix behavior: just simply default to -437.
2) follow the dos behavior: use GetConsoleOutputCP() as currently
coded.
3) Do something completely different, and use GetACP().
4) Do something completely different, and use nl_langinfo or setlocale.
I think #3 is a bad idea, since it creates a new semantic just /because/.
#4 would make sense if we were designing from scratch -- but then, we'd
really just be re-implementing iconv(1). I don't think that's a
valuable exercise, and besides:
There is no intention to add other conversions. And I don't plan to
remove the options in the near future.
I think I lean towards #1 for this specific corner case. In general,
cygwin ports should act like their unix conterparts, even if there is a
"native" win32 port with different semantics, IMO.
