aha. i see now. 'error_start' program is called as
'<progam_name> <path_to crashed_executable> <pid>', whereas dumper
expects slightly different format of command line:
dumper [-c name] pid

you can create a simple wrapper, dumper_wrapper.cmd which reads:

c:\path\to\dumper\dumper.exe -d -c %1 %2

and set CYGWIN=error_start=c:\wherever\dumper_wrapper.cmd
