I forget the gory details, but I do remember that there was gore.  I tried many
permutations of Bash arguments, shell script commands, etc., and the above is
what worked on my particular installation of Cygwin then (2006/09/14) and what
still works on my particular installation of Cygwin today (last updated
2007-05-25).  There may be other ways to get it to work; YMMV.
