Re: bash -c '$COMSPEC' # worked sometime b4 cygwin 1.5.24-2

There hasn't been any effort to support Windows paths in Cygwin for a long
time. That doesn't mean it wouldn't have worked sometime in the past. It's
just that doing so is not a goal of this project. Use the POSIX form of the
path and will work nicely for you - /cygdrive/d/winnt/system32/cmd.exe. If
you need to use COMSPEC, run it through 'cygpath' to convert it to a POSIX
path.

$ cygstart $COMSPEC is an easy alternative. -- Reini
