Yes, and this cannot easily be blamed on ANY
portion without testing -- it could even be 
something I did wrong.

BTW:  This is the largest issue in running
CygWin -- everyone (legitimately) thinks the
problem is 'elsewhere'. <grin>

Others have answered you by now but YES, generally
any CygWin app runs under Windows native system OR
any Windows app runs under CygWin.

Scripting commands of course must start their own
shell or interpreter -- this is true for Windows
command prompt features which are built into CMD.exe.

The largest issue is that you must either arrange the
"current directory" to be where the data files are 
located OR you must translate (cygpath does this)
any command line parameters which reference paths.

But this is typically an exercise left to the 'user'
of the command.  Backslashes in Windows must be changed
to slashes when supplying them to a CygWin command and
vice versa.

This could easily work.  And you should start with
the assumption (when creating a Win32 version) that
CygWin is neither an issue nor a benefit.

As long as you can do this under Win32 you are good
to attempt the match up.
