So write a mingw.bat file that does something similar for cmd.exe.

It won’t be seen from Cygwin even if it’s in Cygwin’s path because Cygwin won’t run it without the “.bat” extension, and Cygwin’s mingw shell script won’t be run by cmd.exe, so the “mingw” command will mean something completely different to each shell.

Incidentally, I see that I forgot to fix a /c -> /cygdrive/c in the script I posted.  (I normally run with cygdrive mounted at the root, and write my scripts accordingly.)
