Mintty 2.8.0 simplifies WSL integration a lot.
In Cygwin, you can simply start e.g. mintty --WSL=Ubuntu (add -~ to
start in the WSL home).
Also you can configure WSL invocation into the new session launcher.
So Cygwin users don't even need the WSLtty package (except you favour
other invocation methods,
like desktop/startmenu shortcuts, .bat scripts, and Explorer context
menu entries).
