The cygwin DLL supports it (implemented over my gagged and thrashing body)
but only at a non-cygwin-shell command prompt, e.g.,
c:\>gcc -o foo @foo.blah
works
but
bash$ gcc -o foo @foo.blah
doesn't.
I would highly recommend against using this construct, however. It's better
to use traditional unix methods for working around this problem. Cygwin isn't
the only unix-like system out there with a measly amount of space set aside for
the command line.
