If:
1) A program needs to run a Windows message loop;
2) This message loop should be exited when user input is available on stdin;
3) The program needs to link to cygwin1.dll;
then it is a Cygwin program that needs _kbhit (either present in the DLL or
implemented by myself using select()), isn't it?
