The OP didn't mention either the '-f' option or use the word "colon" in
his original email.

It's not clear what you mean by "paths".  If you're expecting cygpath to
break up a UNIX PATH-like environment variable, then, using UNIX tools
to do this is the right way to handle it.  We're not going to add a
feature to cygpath to provide this simple function.
