OK, I've installed Cygwin 1.7.1 on a Windows 7 x64 system.  The
system didn't have a previous version of Cygwin.  I installed just
the default packages plus "chere".  Once the installation was done,
I invoked 'chere -i' from a command prompt started as Administrator
and running 'bash -li'.  The configuration of "chere" succeeded
and I found "Bash Prompt Here" was available in the context menu
for directories.  I find the same is true on Windows 7 x86.  So I
guess this isn't allot of help beyond the information that this does
work on systems running Windows 7.  Perhaps someone with Vista
x64 will be able to answer your original question.
