There actually seems to be a much better way to accomplish
Unix -> dos path conversion.
According to the FAQ there are some intersting functions:
cygwin32_conv_to_full_posix_path
cygwin32_conv_to_full_win32_path
cygwin32_conv_to_posix_path
cygwin32_conv_to_win32_path
cygwin32_posix_path_list_p
cygwin32_posix_to_win32_path_list
cygwin32_posix_to_win32_path_list_buf_size
cygwin32_split_path
cygwin32_win32_to_posix_path_list
cygwin32_win32_to_posix_path_list_buf_size
I don't know the prototypes for these functions, but if
I call cygwin32_conv_to_win32_path with the unix path
as the first argument and a buffer to hold the converted
path as the second argument I get the win32 path.
By looking at the source it would be possible to get the
exact prototypes. The developers ought to know about this.
