Won't work if you use case-insensitive tab-completion (or in other words, if
~/.inputrc contains 'set completion-ignore-case on').
However, this works for me, in my ~/.bashrc:
export FIGNORE=cygwin.bat:cygwin.ico
Basically, teach bash that during file completion, it should ignore files whose
suffix is either one of the two problematic filenames.
