I'd be surprised to see your "alias" work with win32-gvim and cygwin
paths (symlinks, absolute cygwin paths, ...)

For this sole purpose, I'm maintaining a generic wrapper for win32
native applications we wish to start from cygwin (cyg-wrapper.sh, check
my signature)

NB: I've been reported a bug lately. It seems tied to a bug/regression
in cygpath 1.42 which seems to have forgotten a 0-terminal when called
with -wl.
