Yeah I know Cygwin is not supported and that this was a long shot. I got 
everything else working, including Berks, except that command.

We can’t really support cygwin because it mangles things on the command line 
and has other weird unfixable bugs that break things before the input gets to 
any part of the software stack we control. I’d recommend using powershell in 
ConEmu, or if you’re really homesick for the *nix experience, run bash in 
ConEmu, with plain mingw (the stuff that comes with git mostly works okay).
