I use a similar scheme since the good old b20 days.
Just not with the XXX name and not with a subshell.
(I put the $PWD arg into a temp file in the cygwin.bat starter, which I 
pickup at .profile)
And not for the Explorer (which I don't use), but for a TotalCmd button. 
To open some shell like bash, rxvt, ksh, 4nt in the current dir 
(optinally specified by some dir arg).
A keyboard shortcut is also useful.

And I also apply a lot of path unification then, to shorten
the windows path (where I use subst) to the optimal cygwin path
(where I have symlinks)

.profile:
case $PWD in
   /cygdrive/r/PERL* )
     cd `echo $PWD | sed -e 's!/cygdrive/r/PERL!/usr/src/perl!'`
	;;
   /cygdrive/r/gnu/cygwin* )
     cd `echo $PWD | sed -e 's!/cygdrive/r/gnu/cygwin!/usr/src!'`
	;;
   /cygdrive/r/gnu* )
     cd `echo $PWD | sed -e 's!/cygdrive/r/gnu!/usr/src/gnu!'`
	;;
   /cygdrive/r/lisp* )
     cd `echo $PWD | sed -e 's!/cygdrive/r/lisp!/usr/src/lisp!'`
	;;
   /cygdrive/p/CORMAN* )
     cd `echo $PWD | sed -e 
's!/cygdrive/p/CORMAN~1/CORMAN~1.5!/usr/src/lisp/corman!'`
	;;
   /cygdrive/r/php* )
     cd `echo $PWD | sed -e 's!/cygdrive/r/php!/usr/src/php!'`
	;;
   /cygdrive/n/* )
     cd `echo $PWD | sed -e 's!/cygdrive/n/!/!'`
	;;
   /cygdrive/v/* )
     cd `echo $PWD | sed -e 's!/cygdrive/v!/www!'`
	;;
   /f/data/mp3/* )
     cd `echo $PWD | sed -e 's!/f/data/mp3/!/music/!'`
