google: cygwin shell wrapper script
I posted mine in the mailing list not once, and it's not the only available
solution.

It is technically possible to invoke specific processor for a bat file, but no
Cygwin tools understand the necessary syntax. Your only option is to create
proper association(s) for your favorite extensions.

FTYPE unixshell.script="C:\Programs\Cygwin_64\bin\env.exe" -- /bin/cygwrap.sh "%1" %*
ASSOC .sh=unixshell.script
ASSOC .awk=unixshell.script
ASSOC .pl=unixshell.script
ASSOC .whatver=unixshell.script

The wrapper is as simple as

-------->8-------->8-------->8-------->8--------
#!/bin/sh

test -z "$1" && exit 1

/bin/env -- "$(cygpath -au "$1")" "${@:2}"
--------8<--------8<--------8<--------8<--------

Don't forget to add your favorite extensions to PATHEXT, else you won't be
able to run them scripts from CMD.
