Cygwin commands in the Windows command line

- Subject: Cygwin commands in the Windows command line
Hi -
I've noticed for sometime that Cygwin commands such as "ps" and "ls"
(now) work in the Windows command line (cmd), and I'm not sure if its
because something extra I installed on/did to my machine. (In fact, the
command "pwd", when run in the cmd, shows a Cygwin path like
/cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/my_name.) Is this as a result of
tighter integration of Cygwin with cmd?
Background to this question: I'm helping someone build a library whose
Makefile calls Visual Studio's link command, and I find that its best to
run the makefile the Visual Studio command prompt.
Thanks,
- Olumide
