Cygwin commands in the Windows command line

[Olumide <50295 at web dot de>]

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
