Then perhaps looking at a UNIX installation of Oracle will help then,
assuming that's an option.  Obviously, the Cygwin environment attempts
to mimic what's happening in UNIX so you may find some useful information
there that you can port to Cygwin to get yourself going.  Don't know
this will help but is the only thing I can think of.
