Hi fish folks.

I recently installed fish on my linux servers, and have been very
impressed with it.  However, most of my day to day work is in windows,
and tasting fish (mmmm... fish) has made the windows command prompt
seem even more worthless in comparison.  I decided it was high time to
switch to something better.

Working from a fresh darcs pull, I removed the -std=c99 section from
configure.ac (to work around a Cygwin bug) and commented out
"AC_SEARCH_LIBS( iconv_open, iconv.....", as it was causing configure
to fail.  Next, I ran autoconf, then "./configure --without-xsel".
Finally, I added -liconv to LDFLAGS in my Makefile.  "make;make
install" and I had fish running in windows... sort of.

There seems to be a character encoding issue of some sort.  The prompt
isn't being displayed correctly, the screen blanks whenever I change
directories, and there's a fair bit of random gibberish.  I've
attached screen shots of it running in the normal windows terminal,
and another of it in PuTTY, a proper terminal emulator.

It also throws a gigantic error when fishd starts, but seems well
behaved if it's already running.  The actual error text is some 40k,
so only the first bit is attached.  It seems to be treating the
underscore command as a regular program, rather than handling it
internally.

I know very little about unix programming, but I'd really like to fix
this.  Does anyone have any ideas?  Even a little nudge in the right
direction would be fantastic.

Scott
