if you detect cygwin:

pathconvert() {
  // do cygwin specific path conversion of $1
}

if you don't detect cygwin

pathconvert() {
  echo "$1"
}


Use the pathconvert command whereever you pass full qualified paths from
cygwin to win32.

(There's one issue here: I would like to write echo -- "$1", but echo
doesn't understand --. Bummer.)
