Nice - but how did you work around the problem with non-DJGPP programs
that try to spawn another shell? They usually call "%COMSPEC% /c ...",
but Bash doesn't like the "/c" (it wants "-c"). Is is possible to make
Bash accept "/c" as well? Or did you leave COMSPEC=c:\command.com?

P.S.: IMHO there's a little typo in your posting:

> Assign SHELL "C:\some\path\to\djgpp\executables\-bash.exe", or to quote
> "SHELL = C:\some\path\to\djgpp\executables\-bash.exe"

Shouldn't that be "SHELL=C:\some\path\to\djgpp\executables\-bash.exe"?
(The line is repeated at the end of your article.)
