As per René & Eliot but anyone who uses Notepad++ a lot from Cygwin might be
interested in the attached script which can be put in /etc/profile.d/ or
sourced from your .bashrc. It creates a shell function 'npp' that parses the
command line and translates pathnames to Windows format before passing to
Notepad++. It adds a --wait argument to cause the caller to wait on Notepad++
instance exiting before returning.
The second script ('npp') provides a wrapper around the first for POSIX programs
looking for an executable e.g. git commit message editor etc.
I've done the same for kdiff3 if anyone wants them.
