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.
So basically all you did was replacing platform detection with platform="mswin" and commented out three lines of code that notify about the change? (Did you just find those lines annoying or did they actually fail to work?) Just curious: what does uname -s uname -m return on cygwin or what is the best way to detect windows in "shell"? (I believe that should be easy enough.)
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.
In that case I would use export PATH=/cygdrive/c/context/tex/texm-mswin/bin:$PATH instead, but of course it's your choice. Mojca
