Sounds like you need to associate with a better class of UNIX users. :)

The point is, bash scripting syntax is not a Cygwin-specific issue,
and it would in fact be very hard for Cygwin to screw that up.  It's
always a good idea to try something on Linux first and see if it
really behaves any differently there before complaining that it's
broken on Cygwin.
