I have a couple of options.

Option1: Always name the script with a suffix like .sh and the
associate /bin/sh to .sh.

Option2: You have a UNIX script named myscript that you want Win32 to
run.  Create a file called myscript.bat which contains:

c:\bin\sh -c /scripts/myscript

BTW: I prefer Option2.
