"start" for Cygwin

Hi, I've written a little "start" utility, which is similar to "cmd /c start", only better. It allows you to let Windows start a program or open a file or URL. For instance: - it understands POSIX paths (e.g. "start /tmp/hello.txt") - it can open files which don't have the "executable" flag
