I've also used Cygwin bash for some time but now I'm using eshell (in
emacs 21, see info manual 'eshell').  You could consider this as an
alternative to bash which is portable over all your emacs platforms.
A shortcoming is the lack of extensive documentation despite of the
eshell entries in the emacs wiki.
