This is no longer required (nor does it work). Cygwin 1.5.20 (July 2006) added the transparent_exe option to the CYGWIN environment variable which made open behave in the same way as stat. Cygwin 1.7.1 (December 2009 and, despite the version number, the first release of Cygwin 1.7) made this behaviour default (and removed the ability to turn it off).
