From: Yaakov Selkowitz <yselkow...@users.sourceforge.net>
While both GUI and console Cygwin browsers do exist, anecdotal evidence
suggests most users rely on their native Windows browser. cygstart,
which is a long-standing part of the base Cygwin installation, will
cause the page to be opened in the default Windows browser (the one
registered to open .html files).
