Try (in bash):

cd /tmp

cat >/tmp/runmc <<'EOF'
#!/bin/bash
PATH="/bin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:$PATH"
nc
EOF

chmod +x /tmp/runmc

##in Windows (like cmd.exe, you can run it like:...

/tmp> cmd
Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7601]
Copyright (c) 2009 Microsoft Corporation.  All rights reserved.
C:\tmp>C:\bin\bash /tmp/runmc
C:\bin\bash /tmp/runmc
usage: nc [-46CDdhklnrtUuvz] [-I length] [-i interval] [-O length]
     [-P proxy_username] [-p source_port] [-s source] [-T ToS]
     [-V rtable] [-w timeout] [-X proxy_protocol]
     [-x proxy_address[:port]] [destination] [port]

Maybe the above will get you started?

(you may have to adjust paths .. my cygwin is
installed in root (sorta), so I don't need to add
cygwin to my dos paths...)
