Wouldn't that be:

  if not errorlevel 0 pause

or

  @if errorlevel 0 goto exit
  @echo "bash was either not executed or did not exit cleanly"
  @echo "[more touchy feely stuff here]"
  @pause
  :exit

?

This would be triggered if someone types "exit N" (where N != 0) in the
bash window, though.  I suspect that we'll now hear from the cygwin user
contingent who always type "exit 42" because that was required to work
around problems with ZoneAlarm v527.
