So do:

export CLASSPATH="${CLASSPATH}${PATH_SEPARATOR}$(cygpath -w
'my/java/jar/directory')\*"

If you pass the asterisk to cygpath it will naturally consider it to be
a character in a pathname and give you the equivalent Windows path that
Cygwin would construct using the open() syscall. This is cygpath's
purpose, after all!
