_isatty in Wine and ReactOS returns true whenever GetFileType returns
FILE_TYPE_CHAR, so it does not distinguish ttys from other
character devices. The Microsoft CRT is said to work the same way:

If progress output must be disabled when stdout is redirected to
a printer, then I guess one could call some Win32 console
function and see whether it fails. I'm not sure how reliable
such a hack would be, though.
