Because, after all, one of the most important bits of UN*X functionality EVAR is the ability to rewind or space 
forward/backwards or erase a mag tape from the command line:

        http://cygwin.com/packages/mt/

        http://linux.die.net/man/1/mt

If that's installed, the "mt.exe" it's running might be the (GPL'ed reimplementation of?) the Good Old BSD "mt" 
command, rather than something actually generally useful to developers:

        http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa375649(v=vs.85).aspx

If the Cygwin package containing "mt" is installed, you might have to tweak your search path to look at the directory 
in which the Windows SDK programs are located *before* looking at the directories in which Cygwin binaries are located, 
so you get the right "mt".
