I believe that you want to use the cygpath program if you want to
convert POSIX paths to Windows paths reliably.  Assuming the default
cygdrive prefix is in use:

$ cygpath -w /cygdrive/c/an/example/posix/path
C:\an\example\posix\path

I'm at a Linux system right now, so I typed that from what I remember.
It should be pretty close though.
