I looked around and all I could find for kbit was a reference to it
being expected as a define in Borland Builder.  From this I'm guessing
that it is a Win*'ism.

ncurses cbreak() is close to what I'm looking for, but it mucked with
the IO and I wanted to avoint that... I was able to get ncurses to work
though.  To compare timing diferences I'm going to try the cfmakeraw
now...
