Win32 python: odd behavior when run via ssh

[Grant Edwards]

When I ssh into a windows machine (running Cygwin sshd), I can
invoke python at the shell prompt (you have to use -i option
and I don't really understand why).

Once it's started there are couple rather odd behaviors:

 1) readline support doesn't work.

 2) you have call sys.exit() to exit (neither ctrl-D or ctrl-Z
    work)

Number 2) I don't really care about, but 1) is pretty annoying.
