Create a shortcut that runs "sh.exe /path/to/script.sh".  When you click
on it your script will run in a command window.  If your cygwin bin
directory is not in your path then the shortcut will have to include it,
i.e. "c:\cygwin\bin\sh.exe /home/foo/bar.sh".  The executable's location
is a Windows path, the args to it are POSIX paths.  If the script has
something other than /bin/sh in the shebang, then substitute
appropriately.
