The '@' processing is invoked when a cygwin application is run from a
non-cygwin app but is ignored when running a cygwin program via a cygwin
program.

So, this will work:

bash% echo @foo

This won't:

c:\> c:\cygwin\bin\echo @foo

However, quoting the '@argument' should stop this behavior:

c:\> c:\cygwin\bin\echo '@foo'
