You should be able to do something like:
dos_command `cygpath -w -p /usr/src/file.c`

assuming, of course, that you're in a non-DOS shell.  I know it's pretty messy
and it's a lot of typing, but if you can find a better way, please let me know
'cos I'd also like to get a nice transparent way of doing this so my makefiles
are more portable.

Subject:  DOS filename vs POSIX filename


Is there method to name a path so that both cygwin commands and my
old legacy win32 commands both understand? Right now I have to use
different path names for the same file, some like
unix_command /usr/src/file.c for bash
dos_command c:\\usr\\src\\file.c for dos

thanks,

-Mike
