Agreed on the performance.  I have not had a "buggy" episode in quite
some time.  However I use Cygwin because (1) I am forced to do windoze
and I WILL NOT CONFORM, and (2) I can use my website's scripts verbatim
and only set a couple of envvars differently.  My website runs on
Linux.

So I have the entire system checked into our version control system,
have a sandbox on my laptop, and can test/modify/develop from my living
room couch (I don't yet have a wireless hub...but even then the VPN
connection to work is brutally slow...).

Having SWISH-E behave nicely in Cygwin would complete my
development/test cycle.

I'm quite sure that all this compiles under Cygwin.

The big problem from what I can tell (though, I don't claim to be a
Cygwin developer...just a user) is that the swish-e blindly converts
command paths using '\' on _WIN32.  I think simply implementing Bill's
suggestion (PATH_SEPARATOR) would work, but I have not looked into
this.

So, should I consider working on a patch?
