From my experience "Ext2 Installable File System for Windows" works really well. See http://www.fs-driver.org/ Fire it up and the Linux partition becomes totally accessible (read-write) from Windows, and therefore from Cygwin. Incidentally really useful for drag and drop, whatever, without going near Cygwin. I've never tried it for other than ID b i.e. ext2; and only on the XP platform. Maybe it is extensible (ext3 etc; Vista, W7) or maybe googling for something similar will get you something more elaborate, if you need it.
