 On Windows we have an extra script `ghcii.sh` that is recommended when we
 run in a console that does not use `conhost`. e.g mintty from msys2 or the
 cygwin shell.

 This is because the sigINT signal is being swallowed by these consoles.

 I believe we can work around this by listening to Window messages as well.
 These consoles do their own drawings, which means they load `gdi32.dll`.

 Which means they have a message pump so should be receiving Window events.
