How is a "native Windows build" pertinent to insight?

Sorry but these are not "cygwin network paths". They are "windows
network paths". Cygwin doesn't have "network paths". It just basically
passes on '//' and '\\' style paths on to Windows. The '/' character is
understood by the Windows API just like the '\' character.
So, really, there should be no #ifdef __CYGWIN__ in the code either.
