I know next to nothing about cygwin but It seems logical that you wou need
to have a php binary built specifically for the cygwin environment in order
to run your *nix script. I can also imagine that you might have to tweak your
script to take note of some of the differences between *nix and windows
filesystems (like the directory seperator).
from what I can gather (a quick web search) you should be able to download a
linux source tarball untar it, and then run through the configure/make/make install
procedure all from within your cygwin environment; with the a php build as a result.
