No idea, offhand.  But it occurs to me that cygwin has dlls in the  
same directory; those would might be better to search for than bash.   
Or, if there's some random program that's part of the base cygwin  
installation...

If it's part of the standard distribution, and the performance is  
good, yes, that may be better still.
