I was wrong about SIGIO being defined in Cygwin.  (I was careless in my 
grepping and didn't look closely enough at the header files.)  And an 
answer just appeared on the Cygwin list, saying that SIGIO is undefined 
because the functionality is not implemented.

So now the question is just finding the best way to deal with this.  Do 
you understand why gobble_input is called only if SIGIO is defined?
