So here's what i'd like to do. Perhaps you could help me with that:

I'm trying to execute make from a regular windows app. imagine if
batch-file if it helps. So my batch-file would look like that

c:\cygwin\bin\bash -lc "make"

If i use bash without the "-l", the PATH variable contains too few
entries, and make isn't found. Besides changed the PATH-variable
manually, which possibility is there to execute a command within a fully
functional cygwin environment?
