I often find myself running a piece of software from within emacs that
expects, and spits out, Windows-style paths ("C:\..."). Handling sending
it Windows paths based on the Cygwin ones is fine, I just use a
script.

Of course, the tool returning Windows paths is a PITA, because it means
I can't do M-x next-error :( Is there a solution, a way to "capture
them" and transform them before they end up in the emacs buffer, maybe?
I feel I should be able to work this out myself, but my brain refuses to
bend around it :(
