One problem is Cygwin dll's automatic globbing of command line
arguments (which is done when a non-Cygwin application runs a
Cygwin application) and that might be one thing that could be
handled if better integration is wanted. I faced this problem with
an Emacs git interface package that in my system would run Cygwin
git directly (not via shell) with a parameter like "foo^{commit}"
and due to the automatic globbing git actually saw "foo^commit" and
there was an error. It took some head scratching to figure out
what was going on :) Fortunately that (mis)feature can be forced
off using the CYGWIN environment variable (see
http://www.cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-cygwinenv.html,
(no)glob), so I was able to add a workaround to this package.
