Alternatives for the following two files in the framework distribution to be used under cygwin on Windows.

PLAY_HOME/play
PLAY_HOME/framework/build

Caveats:

1. Note that the play REPL doesn't seem to recognise enter / end of file so you need to run everything as a play command i.e 'play.cygwin.sh ~run'
2. You need to use 'Ctl-C' to exit your process, not 'Ctl-D' as stated by the ascii start up banner.

Updated based on this gist -> https://gist.github.com/3923047

The caveats mentioned above are fixed now.
