[BRLTTY] Is the Cygwin brltty package useful?

[Lee Maschmeyer]

Hi Samuel,

I've used the Cygwin binaries a bit and found them helpful, though they 
didn't work very well. Last I remember, when I went into 6-dot mode to use 
grade 2 brltty would crash.

Now I don't use brltty on Cygwin at all because I can't get the USB support 
to work and share the device with Jaws. Even if it doesn't share it with 
Jaws I don't know whether it worked with brltty as getting Jaws braille back 
was my only priority at the time. That affects all versions of brltty, 
including the ones I build from the tarball. I do use brltty-ctb to 
translate text but Jaws braille has to do the actual display, a situation I 
very much regret.

HTH,
