I'd certainly like that, although unfortunately MinTTY doesn't quite fit the bill yet due to Issue 4 about leaving the console window open. And of course it needs a lot more testing. Speaking of cygwin.bat, is that actually still needed? I find that bash can be invoked more directly through a shortcut, and working directory and icon can be set there too. The same works for mintty.
