Oh yeah.  That was it.  If only we'd paid more attention to Windows 95,
Cygwin would be much faster.  I knew that we should have used the
"GoFasterOnWin9x (TRUE);' function.

If anyone thinks they can optimize things so that console I/O works
better on Windows 95, I'll be thrilled to consider a patch.
