You can find some references to this in the email archives, although so far
no one who has been interested enough in this subject to ask about it or 
find a "work-around" has been motivated to provide a patch to make this 
work automagically.  Here's one reference with claimed success:

<http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2004-06/msg00274.html>

It would be great if you or others that have interest in this route could
follow this through and provide some patches to make it "just work" with
Cygwin.
