Well, cygstart is a proper Cygwin executable. However, it does use a
Windows API call (ShellExecute, see "cygstart --reference") to execute
whatever needs to be started, so I can see how it might depend on a
properly synchronized Windows environment.
If anyone can tell me how to do this, I'll be happy to make the change
to cygstart.
