Yes.  But where I'm invoking it from couldn't possibly be
 the problem since, as I've said, the entire /bin directory
just doen't exist.  The file cygwin.bat attempts to enter
the directory D:/Cygwin/bin, which doesn't exist. 
(D:/Cygwin is the place I installed it to.)

There are a few other bin directories that I do have,
but none of them contain bash or (as far as I can tell)
any other shell:

Cygwin/usr/sbin contains:
awk/grcat.exe
awk/pwcat.exe
bigram.exe
code.exe
cygserver.exe
frcode.exe
makewhatis
rmt.exe
sftp-server.exe
sshd.exe
ssh-keysign.exe

Cygwin/usr/local/bin exists, but is empty.

Cygwin/usr/i686-pc-cygwin/bin contains:
ar.exe
as.exe
ld.exe
nm.exe
ranlib.exe
strip.exe

Cygwin/usr/autotool/devel/bin contains:
aclocal
aclocal-1.8
autoconf
autoheader
autom4te
automake
automake-1.8
autoreconf
autoscan
autoupdate
cygltdl-3.dll
ifnames
libtool
libtoolize

Cygwin/usr/autotool/stable/bin contains:
aclocal
aclocal-1.4
autoconf
autoheader
automake
automake-1.4
autoreconf
autoscan
autoupdate
cygltdl-3.dll
ifnames
libtool
libtoolize
