It's not Cygwin, it's Windows. Similar to old MacOS versions which had a resource fork and a data fork in each file, Windows files are also special: they can contain different "streams". "test:abc" is the abc stream in the file test. I don't know exactly how these streams behave, but it seems you can at least use them as a poor man's zip file.
