With Linux I am using xclip to read the X11 clipboard.
Is there a cygwin equivalent to read the Windows clipboard?
There are 2 ways to access the clipboard:
1. The commands 'getclip' and 'putclip'
2. Redirection to/from /dev/clipboard

There is also xsel and xclip; both need a running X server.
Note that *clip, xsel and xclip do not adapt character encoding, should you wish to transfer text between terminals of different encoding/locale. /dev/clipboard applies transparent character encoding conversion (as does the powershell trick).
