Howto force winXP use cygwin "if test -n"


Hello.

I need to use cygwin's "if" command, the ruby gem I need to install tries to run "if test -n" in my winXP but the win32 "if" is used so it fails with "-n was unexpected at this time".

Is it possible to force WinXP to use cygwin's "if"? c:\cygwin\bin is on the PATH

Hugo
