I read the manual too, but don't understand enough...i read that bashrc 
isn't executed automatically, but for me it works,

I got this line at last one in my /etc/profile:

test -f ./.bashrc && . ./.bashrc

Don't know exactly, what it means, but it was there after cygwin
installation, and i only added some values at .bashrc, which exists as 
empty file since i installed cygwin, and they ar evaluated.

BTW, this is OT in this list:-)
