PATHEXT is fundamental to Windows and Should be recognised by CYGWIN

Your statement is confusing. If not contradictory.
PATHEXT tells the shell to consider these file extensions executable.
If you create a file association for ".sh" and add ".SH" to pathext, CMD will
happily execute it, and in the current console.
