Open URL from Cygwin/POSIX?

I'm writing a cygwin program that should open a web link. This code doesn't work:

     system("cygstart \"http://www.mysite.com\"");

Cygstart works from the command line but not inside the system(). How should I do?

you may have to refer to the cygstart command by its full path. e.g.:

system("/usr/bin/cygstart.exe \"http://www.mysite.com\"");

edit: you may even have to use the full windows path instead of the cygwin path.
