ack

	#!/bin/sh

	perl /c/Chocolatey/lib/ack.1.96.2/content/ack.pl $*

This doesn't work for a few reasons.
Cygwin uses /cygdrive/c for the path, and this would fail on usage such as:

$ ack a\ space\ in\ a\ string
ack.pl: space: No such file or directory
ack.pl: in: No such file or directory
ack.pl: a: No such file or directory
ack.pl: string: No such file or directory

I believe, but have not verified that "$@" is supported in cygwin, which should return the correct space behaviour.
