Set "CYGWIN=tty" in your Windows environment if you want/need 'bash'
to register as a terminal when invoked from any 'cmd.exe' (like 'cygwin.bat'
does).  See:

<http://cygwin.com/1.7/cygwin-ug-net/using-cygwinenv.html>

Note that other terminals (mintty, xterm, rxvt) don't require this because
they know they are terminals.
