I'd need to check the source to provide a solid answer. So I'll pass the
buck to someone else to answer for now, if I get time I'll research it,
but no promises.

My suggestion is to look into path canonicalisation, and what
differences there are between 'pure' windows paths (d:/...) and
'cygdrive' paths.
