Travis,

No.

Cygwin provides unix-like commandline and environment
services on win32, but it still only runs valid win32 programs.

FWTools (for windows) can be used under cygwin, but to it
can be a bit tricky because of the need to setup the FWTools
environment within the cygwin shell.  Often this is easiest
to accomplish by running cygwin.bat from within the FWTools
shell.

Best regards,
