Re: Open URLs with # using cygstart.exe

Cygstart does not actually parse general URIs. For a long time it had
a special case that tested explicitly for `http:', and recently added
`mailto:' after a similar issue arose [1]. Ironically, most URIs seem
to work precisely because cygstart *doesn't* know what to do with them
and passes them along as-is, giving Windows a chance to do the right
thing.
Actually, you can probably ignore this and go with what Adam posted...
