I find that I can successfully pass long args to echo.exe using the @arglist method. It is not too convenient though as using cmd.exe for a shell is pretty awful. And I couldn't get g++ to work under cmd.exe ("The dynamicl link library cygwin1.dll could not be found...")
For the time being, I guess I will just avoid using g++ on my desktop. I have a notebook using w2k that works with cygwin (1.3.21-1) just fine and I can build using it.
