Cygwin 1.5.25 : Very slow command

[Burt Silverman]

Adding "title" to the CYGWIN variable (e.g., CYGWIN = title) in 
Cygwin.bat as per the user manual gives a tremendous psychological 
advantage, lowering the slow start pain, as one can see that things are 
really happening.  "ls" is working perfectly fine -- I will reboot if I 
ever see it behave slowly again compared to Windows native "dir" command.
