This is ok for your setup and will suite most users but some people end 
up with more than cygwin version on their machine and they often to do 
not play well together. The approach I outlined avoids such problems by 
not providing the cygwin configuration as a global setup.

The batch files are not provided as a way to script, rather a way to 
setup an environment for native Windows programs that do not know how to 
execute a shell script or any thing about cygwin to work. I found this 
to be important with a MinGW based set of tools.

An all Cygwin environment should allow just scripts to be used, how-ever 
I do not use cygwin so cannot say for certain.
