Hi Tomek,
cygwin is Unix, hence it's probably better to provide a shell script
instead of a .bat wrapper.  The cygwin login shell is a modified bash.
If you invoke a .bat file, bash calls cmd.exe, hence I think a .bat
file is less efficient than a shell script.

BTW, your universal .bat wrapper calls kpsewhich and stores the result
in a variable.  The code is definitely not easy to understand.  Is
there some on-line documentation available explaining such things?

Regards,
  Reinhard

Microsoft isn't the answer. Microsoft is the question, and the answer is NO.
