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
