Description
"ant test" passes fine when run under Windows "cmd" shell. But it fails to run within cygwin "bash" shell. This issue is due to tests that use $EXEC fail to run. $EXEC implementation sets current directory for the spawned process from "PWD" environment variable. Cygwin passes cygwin style path like /cygdrive/d... for PWD. If "exists" check is added before setting current directory for the spawned process, $EXEC will work fine on Cygwin.
