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'
