Interesting - I don't have Cygwin, but I do have an msys shell (which is, roughly speaking, a derivative of Cygwin's shell). It has a 'which' command, but that works only in the msys shell. If I execute it from a cmd.exe shell it just hangs and renders the cmd shell unresponsive. There are, of course, other msys commands that are independent exe's - and they can be run from any shell.
