Something like this might do. It assumes you know the path to the
Cygwin bin directory. Passing in arguments would be a bit more work and
would probably be somewhat limited unless you have a small number of
possible arguments.
FYI, I don't have a Windows system readily available anymore, so this is
untested.
Shelly.bat:
@echo off
rem Put Cygwin bin directory into PATH
set PATH=C:\cygwin\bin;%PATH%
type %0 | sed "0,/^---BASH SCRIPT FOLLOWS---/ d; s/\r*$//" | bash
goto :eof
---BASH SCRIPT FOLLOWS---
echo $SHELL is alive
^Z
