/bin/sh should exist and be a hard-link to /bin/bash. If this is not the case you have an installation problem. The bash postinstall script should ensure this. /bin vs. /usr/bin is meaningless since they're the same under cygwin. If you have no /bin/sh you will run into countless problems all over the place, such as anything that calls system().
