You could have save some work... 
This should work for Win9x and NT4/2K but I only tested 2K.

If Robert wants to add this to the FAQ. The link in the forwarded message is
the current direct link but the proper entry point will continue to be off
of http://www.glencoakley.org. Maybe next year I'll get a proper site up.

I have updated my version of this to incorporate Ross Smith's .inf idea,
thus allowing it to be used on Windows <whatever>. There is also an install
script that will locate your cygwin root directory. It does require changes
to 
your .bashrc but it wraps them in an 'if cygwin' check so that they will
only be 
invoked if you are running under cygwin. (I share my .bashrc with my Unix
box.) 

The changes are also designed to insulate you from cygwin upgrades by not 
modifying any of the distributed files nor making any assumptions about them

except for the existence of certain tools (regtool, cygpath, cut, cat, grep,
sed 
and, of course bash).

This latest version also changes the window title to something reasonable
and adds a batch file (cw.bat - Cygwin Window) to start a new bash prompt in
the current directory.
