The problem looks to be that bash "helps out" the system
by executing scripts beginning with #!.  In the source for
bash, look in execute_cmd.c, line 3369.  Only one argument
is allowed.  So e.g. #!/usr/bin/env perl -w becomes
"/usr/bin/env" "perl -w"
If I make a patch for this, should it go to the cygwin list?
Should it just go to gnu.bash.bug and leave it at that?
