Now that Jacob mentioned it: I didn't think of the fact that one might
not necessarily need special cygwin binaries to run ConTeXt in cygwin.
If a simple modification in first-setup.sh and setuptex can do the
job, feel free to suggest the change (platform detection).

My changes were simple - I used the setuptex file that came with standalone, and tweaked it ever so slightly.

Save that as .setuptex in ~ (home directory) then add the line

source /home/PeckJ/.setuptex /cygdrive/c/context/tex

to .bashrc, and you should be good to go. I did install (first-setup.bat) from a Windows shell, however, and that took a few tweaks because I'm behind a corporate firewall, but that's a different story all together.

Hope this helps,
