Which is 'my ViM' now? 'gvim' for windows or 'cygwins vim':-)

Why don't you want to use vim which is a part of cygwin's netrelease?

But one issue, cmd doesn't understand cygwins directory structure and 
the mounts and the symlinks, so it will be no fun to use it outside 
bash-shell. 

You can mount working dirs in textmode, so that the files will be
stored in 'native' windows format.
