FYI,
I took your bash shell vi->gvim converter and re-wrote it
for placement in my ~/.tcshrc.
if ($?tcsh) then
if ("$TERM" == "cygwin") then
echo "Setting VI to kickoff GVIM within a cygwin window"
if (-x "C:/vim/vim62/gvim.exe") then
alias vi "C:/vim/vim62/gvim.exe"
endif
endif
endif
Thanks for the tip!
Phil

Cygwin packages whatever software someone has bothered to port to
Cygwin. Apparently nobody has ported gvim. Go ahead and do it
yourself!
As it happens, I use gvim with Cygwin, and it's fine. I had to
install Cygwin and gvim separately, of course, but neither
installation is difficult.
To further the illusion of gvim being "part of" Cygwin, I've put this
shell function definition in ~/.bashrc:
if [ "$OSTYPE" = "cygwin" ]; then
if [ -x "/c/vim/vim62/gvim.exe" ]; then
vi ()
{
/c/vim/vim62/gvim.exe "$@"
}
fi
fi
Thus, when I type `vi foo' in a Cygwin shell, I actually run gvim.
