So the fragment above does look legitimate to you? I just add

(format "cd('%s');\n" (file-name-directory (buffer-file-name)))

and problem solved? Well... for sessions. I don't know if it is common to
use non-session based calculations...

I think there should be more than that. I do sometimes use bash from msys on
Win32 so I'd expect sh as a tangled file name extension in this case. I
believe it can be accomplished as with matlab / octave by adding a new
language cmd that will reuse most of sh. I'll see what I can do.
