No, cygstart takes care of the interaction with Windows.  If you have a 
cygwin system available, just open a shell and type

  cygstart "/unix/style/path/file.html"

and you'll see that it works.  You can omit the quotes as long as 
there's nothing in the file name that needs quoting (like spaces).
