It would.
I have mixed feelings about this, though.
On the one hand, calling it "start" may cause problems for people using
Win9x/Me, who put ...\cygwin\bin at the front of their path in
AUTOEXEC.bat, and try to run "start" from command.com.
On the other hand, this is really a Cygwin version of the cmd.exe builtin
(or Win9x external command) "start", and it would be really nice if people
could just run "start myfile.ext" OOTB.
Anyway, I prefer "start", but can live with "cygstart". The "Cygwin
community" should decide. (cgf or Corinna, any opinions?)
Thanks,
