I name all of my bash scripts with a .sh extension, althought not
necessary from Cygwin's point of view, it allows me to associate .sh
files with c:\cygwin\bin\bash in Windows.  I then customize the icon for
this association with the Cygwin icon, and these files then show up with
this icon in Explorer and I can simply double click to run.
