Subject: Source a .bat file from bash

Is there a way to source a .bat file from bash and have the paths and other environment variables set in it apply in cygwin?

For example

$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin

$ cat file.bat
set path=%path%;C:\windows\something
set x=somevar

$ some_command file.bat

$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/cygdrive/c/windows/something   <- Expected

$ echo $x
somevar   <- Expected

Is this possible?

Thanks,
saurabh
