Run *.exe files even if they don't have write permission.
Show correct frame drawing characters. I know that it's possible to set
OEM charset, but mc should do the right thing regardless of the charset
setting.
Recognize keyboard modifiers. In particular, I miss Ctrl-PgUp and
Ctrl-PgDown. Shift with cursor arrows is also important.
Possibly we need Alt-F1 and Alt-F2 that would show available drives and
the Cygwin root. The drives should be displayed as letters, but the path
in the panel should be /cygdrive/X, not "X:".
We need better support for files with DOS style line endings in the
editor. It should be possible to hide ^M but write them to the disk.
There have been some patches for that, but neither was complete. This is
not Cygwin specific, but it's more important on Windows.
