No, I mean in my Windows 11 system, it failed even with a self-compiled 
unpatched cygwin1.dll, right now.
(I was having cygwin build problems before...)
So I took a fresh approach, fresh git clone, then followed the 
cumbersome build instructions (which I had put into my own configure 
wrapper and used to work before).
Not quite understanding the purpose of that package, or the postinstall 
script which told me
cat: /etc/libopenconsole/version.txt: No such file or directory
sha256sum: 
/etc/libopenconsole/Microsoft.WindowsTerminal__x64.zip.sha256: No such 
file or directory
, I just copied OpenConsole.exe manually into /bin. And yes, now it 
works in Windows 11, even with OpenConsole from WT 1.23 (which is a bit 
surprising as there was a bug which they fixed later).

Copied the solution to Windows 10 but unfortunately it does not work 
there. Kind regards Thomas
