You can use standard redirection in the command prompt (i.e. 'a.bat >
a.out'). Failing that, you can select text in a command window and paste
it into a message (using Alt-Spc -> Edit -> Mark in Win2k, I believe Win9x
has something similar).

Well, I don't *know* that rebase is not a cygwin app, I just made a guess
based on some earlier comment by its author. He's the ultimate authority
on this... However, you can easily run non-cygwin programs from bash, as
long as you're careful with filename conventions, so I don't see why you
had to dump the bash script...
All I was trying to do was help you post the exact commands and error
message, so people with knowledge on the subject (e.g., Jason Tishler)
would have an easier time getting to the root of the problem.
