It works for me since 20b (winter 98) without cygpath - all paths for the compiler are
produced as relative to the current dir

There was a problem with Digital FORTRAN - which accepts in pathnames only backslash, and
uses slash for the options (/c not -c), and to add to the confucion its' exec name is
obviously df.exe !!!

There was another problem I had: we had preprocessing utility, built as a part of make, to
produce C files to be compiled .... This preprocessor used extensively exec's to 'mv',
'rm', cat', etc. So the sequence was: DOS->bash->make->bash->pre->exec->rm and pre should
not be compiled with VC - switching back and forth between Windoze and Cygwin calling each
other caused strange hung-ups.
