Thank you Andy,
The last problem is that the window title, for the "My documents/foobar"
directory becomes:
/cygdrive/d/Documents and settings/User_name/My documents/foobar
which iconifies to "/cygdrive/d/Docu...", the latter indication being
the same for all directories.
I tried:
C:\cygwin\bin\mintty.exe -t foobar -e /bin/env CHERE_INVOKING=1
/bin/bash --login
to get the "foobar" window title, but at the end the complete above
title comes back again.
Best regards.

PS: same problem when installing chere with
chere -ia -s bash -t mintty
