Lately, I have released a wrapper for Win32 native (command-line) tools.
It can not guess arguments you don't know, but will enable you to
specify as many arguments you wish to specify. And it also converts
all the pathnames given and it follows symbolic links.

I'm not sure it is the kind of thing you are looking for. So, just in
case, you will found cyg-wrapper.sh on my web site.

Regards,
