On Windows we have a replacement terminal, which has all the features
you want, and also supports tabs like Konsole. I've used it for
several years, and it works great. Have a look and see if you like it,
then we can add it to the repo:

A fine example of windows hackery (they had to inject some code into
the process running a standard windows console to redirect the IO,
because windows has no tty of any form).
It is wonder it works, but it really does (surprisingly often).
Very impressive.
