Subject: Using 'start' in Cygwin doesn't work
There's no such thing as START.EXE. The 'start' command is an internal command to the Win32 CMD shell. So, in Cygwin, this doesn't actually do anything. However, Cygwin has 'cygstart', which acts just like CMD's 'start'. Also, it's a real file as /usr/bin/cygstart. I've confirmed that simply changing the 'start'->'cygstart' on line 22 will work.
