I tried that for a while, but there were just too many cases where it didn't work, usually in situations where the full path names to files were being exchanged either way between Windows vim and Cygwin tools. Now I use both Windows and Cygwin vims, the choice depending on what I'm doing. I use a common vimrc and vimfiles for both.
