  Nope.  Cygwin doesn't support linux filesystems and only emulates a few of
the most vital devices.

  Well, there's no all-cygwin way of doing it, but if you can use an external
utility such as virtualcdcontrolpanel or alcohol, that makes the ISO appear as
a regular windows disk device with a drive letter, you'll be able to access it
under /cygdrive/ in the usual way.

    cheers,
