PATCH: zpty for Cygwin and strange Zsh test hanger

["Andrej Borsenkow" <Andrej.Borsenkow@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Cygwin is using SVR4-style ptys without STREAMS support. The attached
patch makes it possible to compile zpty.c under Cygwin. I can also start
bash as subprocess and read/write there. Unfortunately, both completion
tests and nslookup function hang unde Cygwin. I was not able to use gdb
(it does not show even stacktrace), but I decided to try a single
testsuite under Unix ... and to my surpise it hung there as well. Look
(this is after installing new zsh, so it must be identical with what is
built using ``make check''):

It does NOT hang if I run ``make check''!

Any idea?
