this is interesting, but it doesnt explain (or im not understanding) why it will
accept a quoted string and not an escaped one. in a normal setting, these
commands are identical:

    $ bash -c 'echo; read'
    + bash -c 'echo; read'

    $ bash -c echo\;\ read
    + bash -c 'echo; read'

but with cygstart this command works:

    cygstart bash -c '"echo; read"'

and this does not:

    cygstart bash -c 'echo\;\ read'
