The solution above works as long as you want to have multiple installs
of mercurial (one under windows and one under cygwin).  After fiddling
with it a bit more, I got hgk to work wonderfully with cygwin (read:
with no funky resize bug at startup) with this setup:

* FILE: ~/.hgrc
[extensions]
hgext.hgk =

[hgk]
path=~/src/hg/mylocal/contrib/hgk

* FILE: hg.bat  (put this file on a folder that is on your windows path)
@echo off
c:\local\software\cygwin\bin\bash -c "hg %*"


Yes... I know... kinda dirty.  But, no extra magic required.  Hgk
works as advertised.  Can anyone else see if they can reproduce this?
