Should be fixed now in the new eshell-1.11 package (NOT YET in the
cygwin xemacs sumo packages). The following is from the release announcement:

------------------ release announcement -----------------
I have just added the following packages to the 'Pre-Releases'
directory:

New Packages in Pre-Release:
===========================
eshell-1.11-pkg.tar.gz           upstream version: 2.4.1


Detailed Changes:
================
------- ChangeLog Entries from xemacs-packages/eshell/ChangeLog -------

2007-05-14  Norbert Koch  <viteno@xemacs.org>

	* Makefile (VERSION): XEmacs package 1.11 released.

2007-05-13  Aidan Kehoe  <kehoea@parhasard.net>

	* esh-util.el (eshell-under-windows-p):
	This function is used to determine whether .exe should be appended
	to executable names when searching for them; this is as true of
	cygwin32 as it is of windows-nt and ms-dos.

     instructions at the bottom of the packages buffer).
