I got this .emacs recipe from the Cygwin FAQ: works as advertised...

        ;; This assumes that Cygwin is installed in C:\cygwin (the
        ;; default) and that C:\cygwin\bin is not already in your
        ;; Windows Path (it generally should not be).
        ;;
        (setq exec-path (cons "C:/cygwin/bin" exec-path))
        (setenv "PATH" (concat "C:\\cygwin\\bin;" (getenv "PATH")))
        ;;
        ;; NT-emacs assumes a Windows command shell, which you change
        ;; here.
        ;;
        (setq process-coding-system-alist '(("bash" . undecided-unix)))
        (setq w32-quote-process-args ?\")
        (setq shell-file-name "bash")
        (setenv "SHELL" shell-file-name) 
        (setq explicit-shell-file-name shell-file-name) 
        ;;
        ;; This removes unsightly ^M characters that would otherwise
        ;; appear in the output of java applications.
        ;;
        (add-hook 'comint-output-filter-functions
                  'comint-strip-ctrl-m)
