Not on the Cygwin 1.5.25 install here anyway.
Maybe Vincent is using tcsh. Older tcsh took .bat and .cmd extensions into account, newer versions don't. That's a deliberate change since the behaviour diverged from the standard POSIX behaviour. If you have a shell script called "foo.sh" or "foo.csh", you have to give the full name "foo.sh" or "foo.csh". You can't start them just specifying "foo". In Cygwin, only the .exe and .lnk suffixes have a special meaning for obvious reasons.
