Agreed. Your chances of this certainly won't be decreased if pexpect is included.

I'd quite happily settle for something that could drive cygwin bash shells under Windows, but clearly somebody cleverer than I will have to work some magic for such functionality to appear.

Presumably manipulating command windows with cyg/bash inside them requires pretty much the same features as manipulating windows with the Windows command shell inside them.
