The problem is that windows programs create files seen by cygwin as 
excecutable. I find this quite annoying myself, as an 'ls' outside a cygwin 
controlled directoy floods my screen with green text. (my 'ls' is an alias 
for 'ls --color'). It would be nice if the default for windows programs was 
the other way around.
