[BRLTTY] Brltty, braillelite and cygwin

Not quite. What works for some displays is the Windows version of brltty. I 
suggested that for those displays where the Windows version does not work, 
perhaps they could use the Cygwin version without running Cygwin. Then 
whenever an appropriate window comes along, brltty can read it.

For example, I run brltty (not Cygwin) from the startup folder so it starts 
automatically every time I boot my computer. When a console app starts, 
brltty reads it.

Simone and Gianluca said Yes, it works for console apps but not for things 
that use brlapi. I thought perhaps because the location is in Cygwin instead 
of wherever the Windows version of brltty puts it, that might be the 
culprit. Probably not, though; as I said, I'm probably showing off my 
ignorance.
