title: Open a file from Cygwin
body: <p>Is there an equivalent to OSX <code>open</code> command in cygwin. <code>open</code> opens a file with the default application for that type.</p>
  
  <p>I want to do something like</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ magic-command file.xls
  #excel opens as if file.xls would have been double-clicked
  
  $ magic-command file.txt
  #notepad opens as if file.txt would have been double-clicked
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>You get the idea?</p>
  
  <p>Basically something like a "cygwin-double-click" command.</p>
