For all of the above you probably wouldn't find anything in bash 
built-in help docs.  You would find it in the man page for bash.  Type 
'man bash' in a cygwin window and you will find both -l and -c defined 
there.  Just for reference...

-l - Make bash act as if it had been invoked as a login shell.
--login - Same as -l.

-c string - If the -c option is present then commands are read from 
string.  if there are arguments after the string, they are assigned to 
the positional parameters, starting with $0.
