cygport and C:\Windows\system32\tar.exe

[Federico Kircheis <federico dot kircheis at gmail dot com>]

Hello,

I'm working on Windows 10 freshly installed, installed cygwin too, and 
noticed that tar did not work on absolute files.

Apparently there is a tar.exe from Microsoft in system32.
https://devblogs.microsoft.com/commandline/tar-and-curl-come-to-windows/

My problem is that cyport tries to invoke tar with an absolute file, and 
of course C:\Windows\system32\tar.exe does not understand a path that 
begins with `/cygdrive/c`.

How do you generally solve that problem?


Thanks in advance
