Cygwin piggybacks off of the normal windows "services" startup -- at 
least on WinNT/2K (not sure about win9x/Me).  check the readme for 
'cygrunsrv' in /usr/doc/Cygwin.  sshd and (I think) postgres daemons use 
cygrunsrv.

Also, inetd was ported prior to the creation of cygrunsrc, so it (inetd) 
has the capability to install itself into the windows services list 
without requiring cygrunsrv's assistance.  (Ditto ipc-daemon, an 
off-site external package).  Check /usr/doc/cygwin/inetd...README.

You may need to just use a vbs script in your Startup folder on 
Win9x/Me.  Ugly, I know -- but that's 9x for ya.
