Thanks for the patch.
This is pretty cool and wasn't something that I would have thought of doing. Heck, I didn't even think that it needed to be done, nor did I suspect that it could be done so easily.
xfig-etc-3.2.4-2 contains this patch.

Try "cygstart %f" for both HTML and PDF, with no helper scripts. ;-) This will do the path translation automatically and open the application associated with each of the extensions in Explorer (just like double-clicking). Igor
You are right. A very neat solution.
