I do use gVim and cygwin. For using the cygwin bash shell instead of
the regular Windows DOS prompt, I use the following in my _vimrc:
:set shell=c:\cygwin\cygwin.bat
The only problem I have is that I have to type the command twice. The
first time opens the shell, the second will insert the result of the
command.
For example to insert the current date, I do the following:
:r!date <enter>
date <enter>
exit <enter>
On my Mac OS X box, I can just type :r!date
