Subject: command to open Windows Explorer window "here"?

Does cygwin include a command-line command that would open a
WindowsExplorer window pointing at the current directory?

Mac OS X has a command in Terminal called "open" that will decide which
application is the "right" one to use for just about any argument you
give it.  When you say "open ." in Terminal, it will open a Finder
window looking at that directory (".", i.e., the current directory).  So
I'm wondering whether cygwin on Windows has a similar function just to
that subset of what Mac OS X's "open" does.

   Thanks in advance,
   Doug L.
