Hello,
    Hacked up this one liner function for getting a files actual windows details/properties information.  I needed a tertiary way to compare executable/drivers, so a version number from windows seemed like a viable option. Hopefully someone will find this handy, seeing as i feel so guilty for not contributing more to such a wonderful project like Cygwin.  So appreciative of the maintainers and everyone else associated with the CYGWIN project. My email for some reason keep getting rejected by the list, so the level of praise goes up with each revision.

#get file details from windows via wmic wmi formatted call condensed
finfo() { [[ -f "$(cygpath "$@")" ]] || { echo "bad-file";return 1;}; echo "$(wmic datafile where name=\""$(echo "$(cygpath -wa "$@")"|sed 's/\\/\\\\/g')"\" get /value)"|sed 's/\r//g;s/^M$//;/^$/d'|awk -F"=" '{print $1"=""\033[1m"$2"\033[0m"}';}

ex:
$ finfo notepad.exe
$ finfo "C:\windows\system32\notepad.exe"
$ finfo /cygdrive/c/Windows/System32/notepad.exe
$ finfo "/cygdrive/c/Program Files/notepad.exe"
$ finfo ../notepad.exe

There is no doubt the brilliant people here could have done a better job, but like i said, i just needed to contribute something.  And if you are a gamer you might appreciate this https://github.com/jonretting/geforce-driver-check 

Cheers,
JR
