Note that this will give you a warning in Cygwin 1.7 since you are using
non-POSIX path names.

I do hope there will be an option with an alternative environment variable setting that will direct the warning to /dev/null ?

The credo of Cygwin, it seems to me, has always been:

Give Windoze users a shot at the richness and wisdom of GNU/UNIX without making their lives any more miserable than MBRH (Mr. Bill and the Redmond Hordes) has already done.

NOT POSIXlee, yours ;-)
