Open up your Start
menu, select the Cygwin
submenu and click on Cygwin Bash Shell
. That gives you a UNIX-oriented shell in which it'll be a lot easier to do UNIXy type things, like running whatever script you want.

Actually that command is not so much bound to a platform (if you allow that term for Cygwin) as it is a shell intrinsic/builtin. In Bash (to my knowledge default shell in Cygwin), for example, those two lines are equivalent:
. ./filename.sh
source ./filename.sh
All variables, exported or not, will be integrated into your current shell instance (unless enclosed in parentheses, i.e. assignments done in subshells).
