Sorry I can't help with allot of specifics on your questions but I can
say that when using Cygwin, you are best off if you stick to POSIX syntax
and semantics and don't mix in Windows code and Windowisms.  That includes
path separators (i.e. use '/', not '\').  See this page in the User's Guide
for information on how Cygwin handles device emulation too:
