Correct.  On a cygwin python the ";" will work, because the command is
executed by the cygwin /bin/sh, and ; is a command separator on Linux-like
shells (but not on Windows cmd.exe).  On a non-cygwin python, ";" will not
work.

In both cases you can get the opposite behavior by setting env['SHELL'] (in
one case to cmd.exe, in the other to /cygwin/bin/sh).
