I don't know. Trying...
Under the cygwin bash shell there *is* a TERM=cygwin environment
variable that, I suppose, could be checked. I don't use the cygwin bash
shell at all (and I don't think that people should, for various reasons
including http://trentm.com/blog/?p=10). You *can* run .bat files (and I
presume .cmd files as well) under Cygwin bash, but you have the specify
the extension: i.e. the PATHEXT stuff doesn't work.

As I said:
