IIRC, zsh has a mode to emulate ksh, and will do so automatically if it
starts as "ksh"-named process. There have been messages about porting
zsh to cygwin on this list, so take a look around to see if you can find
the port. Then create a symlink ksh to zsh or just copy the program to
ksh. Haven't tried that though.
Cheers and hope this helps,
