I recall trying to get GIT (which comes with it's own mini posix environment), ack-grep (not part of cygwin, and requiring a windows version of perl), SSH (I think from cygwin) to get along, while trying to keep thing like find-dired and find-grep working.
Admittedly it's more of a general unix-on-windows problem.
