Maybe someone will be kind enough to tell me what this is in reference to.
I've just downloaded the last few days of discussion which have the word
"cygpath" in it and I don't see anything obvious.  Apparently there was
a discussion where John Morrison expressed reservations about the
current broken behavior but all I see is the opinion that it should be
fixed with no discussion about what "it" is.

Please send the URL which discusses the problem to cygwin-apps.

Thanks.
