R devel - Oct 2004 - Rterm in a Cygwin shell (in Windows) (PR#7287)

This bug report is mostly a note to myself to track this down:

In the version of the Cygwin bash shell I'm currently using, Rterm
does not detect that it is being run interactively, so it switches
into batch mode, and lots of things stop working.

Works fine for me with the latest version of R and the same version of 
cygwin bash.  The environment variable CYGWIN can affect this kind of thing.

$ env | grep CYG
CYGWIN=ntsec smbntsec binmode export

tplate@ACONCAGUA ~/depot/Spluslibs/strat1.live
$ bash --version
GNU bash, version 2.05b.0(1)-release (i686-pc-cygwin)

$ /cygdrive/c/R/rw2000/bin/Rterm --vanilla
