Executing scripts with DOS style pathnames causes the following error:
MS-DOS style path detected
CYGWIN environment variable option "nodosfilewarning" turns off this
warning.
Consult the user's guide for more details about POSIX paths:
http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using.html#using-pathnames

Annoyingly, setting a local environment variable *doesn't* turn off this
warning, and possibly as a form of punishment to DOS users there is no
further information in the Help and FAQ. Apparently, setting a Windoze
System Environment Variable may solve the problem, but in any case this is
useless for anyone who wants to block the message for individual scripts, or
(like me) has a locked-down Windoze PC.

Here is the command line I'm running: C:\cygwin\bin\bash --login
C:\test\test.sh
