Try the following:

# Convert a Cygwin CLASSPATH when running on Unix

if [ -z "$CYGWIN" ]; then CLASSPATH=`echo $CLASSPATH | sed -e 's/;/:/g' -e 
's|\\|/|g'`; fi

# Convert a non-Cygwin CLASSPATH when running on Cygwin

if [ -n "$CYGWIN" ]; then CLASSPATH=`echo $CLASSPATH | sed -e 's/:/;/g' -e 
's|/|\\|g'`; fi

Note that these don't take into account the DOS driveletter: paths...
