Jonathan,
[ To my knowledge, this is not Cygwin-specific. ]
Here's one simple way:
rtouch() { touch $(find "$@"); }
Rather slower, but unlimited by maximum argument list length limit:
rtouch() { find "$@" -exec touch '{}' ';' ; }
If you want to be able to include touch options, then you'll need to make a
pass over the arguments, culling options into one array and file or
directory arguments into another and then making one or the other of the
touch / find invocations. I'll leave that "as an exercise for the reader."
