Is there some reason why you're asking this question here rather than
in, say a Sun javac mailing list?

FYI, even if you could do something magical to javac to cause it
to emit forward slashes, it still would not understand the //d
drive syntax since this is cygwin specific.  For an application
to understand cygwin drive specs, it would need to be linked with
the cygwin DLL.
