Try the "run" utility:
http://www.neuro.gatech.edu/users/cwilson/cygutils/run/index.html
I use the following shortcut to start an xterm:

C:\cygwin\bin\run.exe C:\cygwin\usr\X11R6\bin\xterm.exe -display
localhost:0 -ls -bg #000000 -rv -fn 10x20 -rw -cu -si -sk -sb -sl 5000 +cn
-T local_xterm -n local_xterm

Beware that by default run maxes out at 20 command line arguments.  If you
need more, change the MAX_ARGS define in run.h before compiling.
