Thanks Igor!

I think I need to go the other way. Given a CLASSPATH variable in windows,
how do I convert it to cygwin? Do I use ":" to separate the elements, or do
I use "\;". If I use ":", what about the windows device names?
It seems to me this should have worked, but it does not:
* CLASSPATH=.\;c:\\dev\\xalan\\xalan-j_2_7_0\\xsltcservlet.jar\;others
* export $CLASSPATH
* echo ${CLASSPATH}
* javac myprogram.java

OK, is there any documentation? What kind of wrappers are these? I have
never heard of bash wrappers before. (hmmm... bash wrappers, sounds like a
new genre of music! -- maybe something like slam dancing?)
How about an example? That would probably suffice.
Well, even if I get Igor's bash wrappers to work, I'm kinda curious why my
attempt did not.
