Ling, Yes, it's theoretically possible, as long as the Cygwin /bin directory is in the path. There may be some peculiarities specific to your system that you'd have to solve (in particular, all the scripts will get Win32 paths as parameters, rather than Cygwin POSIX paths), but there's nothing major that prevents you from doing this.
