That's my default solution now. But it's not as consistent as with 
everything under cygwin. For example I use symbolic links to keep one 
copy of the tex file I'm editing, and have all the by-products of latex 
compilation in a compilation directory. Of course, MikTex doesn't handle 
cygwin symbolic links.

What I don't understand is that it was working about 1 month ago (I 
trashed in between the cygwin archives...).
