unix_command c:\\usr\\src\\file.c work for bash, but I could
not include something like that in PATH because : is used to
separate different paths. Also in sh/make script, I have to use \ to
protect \. Once I have to use 8 \ in a row. :)
DJ in his email provided a net solution to this problem, as far
as your win32 applications accept POSIX path. Luckily this is
true for me.
Thanks,

-Mike
