I'm in a "using cygwin with native apps" mood today.

Anyone have advice on how to customize the _vimrc of native gvim to best
work with cygwin?  For example, so that "!" shell commands work like they
do in cygwin (non-"g") vim.  I'd like to run gvim without loading an
X-server.

Thanks for your help.

How many chickens did you sacrifice?  There is a minimum of at least
two.

And, of course, you also need to dress up as a hippo while performing
the sacrifice:

Additionally, you probably want to recheck:
