A little more about $CYGROOT. It also makes the cygwin.bat file used by
default to start bash more flexible. We can do something like this (works
under NT/2K/XP TTBOMK):

---- snip! ---- 8< ----- Cut Here -----
@echo off

:: My part -- customizations
SET CYGWIN=noenvcache check_case:adjust title ntsec export
SET PATH=%SystemRoot%\System32;%SystemRoot%

CALL :FindMe %CYGROOT%
GOTO :EOF

:FindMe
SET CYGHOMEDIR=%~d1
%CYGHOMEDIR%
chdir %CYGROOT%\bin
SET CYGHOMEDIR=

IF EXIST rxvt.exe GOTO :rxvtterm
GOTO :EOF

:rxvtterm
rxvt -display ':0' +vb -cr '20,252,123' -ls -C -sk -sr -sl 3600 -geometry '122x48+0+0' -fg '#94C9E0' -bg '#061212' -fn 'Andale Mono-15' -e bash --login -i
GOTO :EOF

:bashconsole
:: Default -- standard part
bash --login -i

---- snip! ---- 8< ----- Cut Here -----

So, %CYGROOT% isn't standard, but I find it's highly useful ;-).
