Sorry I forgot to included in my previous email that cygstart can
load Windows shortcuts.  This might be useful to you if the working
directory is always the same.  But be careful that the LNK file is a
real Windows shortcut (though perhaps created by mkshortcut) and not a
cygwin symbolic link.

My apologies for the wasted bandwidth.
