java contains a File object which contains two static fields, one for path
separator and one for a directory separator.  on windows, they end up being
; and \. . .

perhaps this has something to do with the issue at hand?  (probably not; the
classpath is set and used elsewhere)  however, it would make sense for a
native application to be designed to work off the native settings.  cygwin's
settings aren't native to the windows environment :)

   Would you  care for a drink?   I mean, if it  were, like,
