Solved - there existed a directory named "mkdir" in a directory
on my path. sh.exe tried to pick that up and execute it - bash.exe
doesn't do that.
The cygwin bin dir had the "mkdir" directory in it, but I don't
know if that's the way it came from the distribution or not.
If yes - that would be a problem for others.
