Stephen,

I did not mean to imply anything with you, and I was just joking (see
all the smileys?).

That .bat files were the ones I needed to make a native LyX work with
all cygwin apps. What I was trying to say is that, unfortunately, there
exist so many possible configurations (mix of native and cygwin apps,
even different cygwin versions in which a program can be a symlink or
not) that exiting from the three cases I outlined before, leads to such
headaches that it would be seen as a perverted attitude to insist on it.
I am sorry that, english not being my mother language, I am not really
able to convey what I mean...
