Support for running cinst and friends in cygwin shells

[mcandre]

Many developer tools require bash-style shells in order to function, but chocolatey currently is only available in batch form.

Could we add support for cygwin shells? E.g. by dropping in a shell script in addition to each batch file, e.g. https://gist.github.com/mcandre/5467825.

It works for me. Try cup chocolatey -pre

Let me know if the new version works for you.

In case this is ambiguous, the work has already been done is in a prerelease pkg.

@ferventcoder I'm so glad you guys work hard on Chocolatey! It makes my development work a lot easier, and I've been encouraging my fellow Windows developers to give it a try.
