You make it sound like "Cygwin" is something alien, unnatural.
The truth is, cygwin is just a collection of programs, that using one common
library as a base of their API.

What it supposed to do?... If you want to start netcat, either chdir to a
proper directory, or use full path to executable. Neither is true for your
example, assuming I understood it right.
