I don't believe that sh.exe can be made to work as a login shell. I just tried to
copy it to '-sh.exe' on the chance that it might run profiles, but that did not work,
for
some reason.
bash has the '--login' option which can be used to make it read profiles. If you
really don't like bash and want sh instead, you could add the following to the end of
your
.profile (be sure HOME is set somewhere "outside", ie before bash starts, for instance
in cygwin.bat, and that all the stuff you want in the environment is exported):
exec /bin/sh
