Hi,

mintty 0.5.7 is available for download from http://mintty.googlecode.com.
The usual round of minor fixes and improvements:

- Ctrl+slash sends ^_ as in xterm.
- New --class command line option allows to change the name of
mintty's window class. That can make it easier to distinguish
different mintty windows in scripting tools like AutoHotKey.
- Dim mode is no longer limited to the 16 basic colours.
- Drop long path prefix ('\\?\') from Windows paths when opening files
or directories. Some programs couldn't deal with those properly.
- Bring the charset support into line with upcoming changes in Cygwin
1.7.2: use nl_langinfo(CODESET) instead of making assumptions about
locales without explicit charsets, and allow three-letter language
codes.
