What exactly are you trying to solve by your query?  The golang issue 
you point to is marked as resolved and many suggestions similar to the 
ones you've been given in this query exist in it; including a go script 
to convert the strings on the command line.  I probably would use a 
similar method with a bash script but calling cygpath.

Good luck,
