Comment (by Phyx-):

 For the console I/O part I have implemented an alternative interface which
 is able to handle un-buffered reads. SO that works now as well on Windows.
 In un-buffered mode with processed inputs turned off, signal handlers
 won't work, as they'll be placed in the input stream one character at a
 time.

 I think this is an acceptable limitation so I won't spend the time to
 support this for now.
