I know nothing of dmake, but current versions of the Cygwin utility
"cygpath" have both -w / --windows and -m --mixed options. "Mixed" is
Windows format with forward slashes. There's also -d, which gives a DOS 8.3
name if the argument names an existing file and -u which produces Unix /
POSIX names.
If your Windows "dmake" conditions its behavior on path name syntax, this
should be enough to control it.
