======================

ah, bash... i remember when that was the best shell...

try this - http://www.smasher.org/zsh/zshrc-v0.147.gz 
http://www.smasher.org/zsh/

zsh just makes everything better. with that zshrc file (and zsh, of 
course) if you type "ca<TAB>" you'll see "cat" but not "cat.exe". i'm away 
from my employer's windows machine for the next few days, so i can't show 
a full/accurate listing of the tab-completion right now.

like i said... i'm a *nix guy, and there are a few cygwin optimizations in 
there that make cygwin/zsh feel much more like home.
