I usually use FAR manager (non-cygwin Norton Commander clone) (*) for command-line work and run cygwin programs (like grep, gcc or make) from it; modifying all programs or writings wrapper scripts for them is not an option.
May be it makes sense to add umask option to CYGWIN environment variable ? Probably there are other users with usage pattern similar to mine. (*) I know about Midnight Commander and use it on Linux, but FAR is more usable on Windows.
