I don't know if you can get at any 'keyboard interrupts" portably, even
amongst Win platforms (I would guess that NT-based Windows won't let
you).  

And, it isn't right to just register for and get keyboard events,
because we want the control key state, even if we don't have input
focus.  I.e. you're working in another app, but still can press control
to talk.

Anyway, this seems to be working fine, and not causing any kind of load,
as it is now.

It should be possible to make the whole library compile with VC, and
without cygwin, but I haven't done that yet.  

It shouldn't be hard to do (just compile all the same files, plus or
minus a few compatibility things to fix, perhaps), but It's just harder
for me to maintain that way.  I'd need to maintain two makefiles (one
for VC, plus one for everything else), and then test 4 builds instead of
three.

So, if someone steps up and makes proper nmake/VC makefiles (and any
needed portability fixes), I'll definately keep them in CVS.
