For Konsole to be able to be used with Win32 Console applications, or
even for unixy applications?

I seem to be able to ssh into a Cygwin box from a Linux terminal
without problems. This suggests to me that if we don't care about
Win32 Console applications, porting Konsole shouldn't pose unusual
difficulties (not that I claim to know). Since we already have a
console that has bug-for-bug compatibility with the Win32 Console
(Console2), it seems that a console that just works for unixy
applications is more important than a second Console2.
