You missed the point. c:/ anything is NOT posix-y. Rather, you should be worried whether: '-Dsomething=/cygdrive/c/documents and settings/whatever' is one or three arguments (one if it is quoted correctly, three if it is not). You're better off not even trying to use drive letters with a colon when emulating posix. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
