Works fine for me.  I just made a new 1.7 installation from scratch two
days ago, and all the bash calls work as expected, except for a minor
problem in the terminfo postinstall:

2009/06/16 11:13:37 running: C:\cygwin-1.7\bin\bash.exe --norc --noprofile -c /etc/postinstall/terminfo0.sh
chmod: cannot operate on dangling symlink `Eterm-color'

2009/06/16 11:13:45 running: C:\cygwin-1.7\bin\bash.exe --norc --noprofile -c /etc/postinstall/terminfo.sh
chmod: cannot operate on dangling symlink `Eterm-color'

ETerm-color points to ../E/ETerm, but the directory is called 'e',
not 'E'.  That's a problem when using case-sensitivity like on a couple
of my test machines.

Chuck?  Can you fix this in a manner which also works on case-sensitive
filesyatems, please?
