As another test, I commented out the 'isatty' check, but made it always
run the interactive command. Running in a Cygwin shell with nroff and
less in path, that gave:

bash-3.2$ ./mtn man
'nroff' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
mtn: fatal: error: ../monotone.man-page/cmd.cc:927: I(fprintf(fp, 
ss.str().c_str()) != -1)
mtn: this is almost certainly a bug in monotone.

I was thinking the simplest fix for MinGW not having 'isatty' would be
to use --interactive to control whether the nroff source was output, or
the interactive command is run. But that seems to be a bad idea.
