I'm wondering why the Cygwin.bat file is still used for new installations.
It causes problems with CTRL+C and it leaves a cmd.exe waiting in the
background for each Cygwin window opened.
It used to set variables, but they're all set in /etc/profile now, although
some users still appear to have their old Cygwin.bat... which must mean they
get those variables set twice (and that should cause duplications when
prepending to $PATH).

Why not just point the shortcut directly to bash.exe with the neccesary
parameters?
