Folks,

according to the cygpath manpage, I should get the following, given a short 
DOS name, e.g. c:\Progra~1:

cygpath -wl C:\Progra~1    -->  C:\Program Files
cygpath -ml C:\Progra~1    -->  C:/Program Files

however, the -m option completely ignores the '-l' flag, and I get instead
cygpath -ml C:\Progra~1    -->  C:/Progra~1
cygpath -m  C:\Progra~1    -->  C:/Progra~1

Which is "right", cygpath or its manpage?

H.
