Hi,

I think someone mentioned that if cygwin utilities do not accept DOS paths
then this should be considered a bug.  Just to report then, if you pass a
DOS path to windres, it barfs:

windres "c:\test.rc"

gives

gcc: c:test.rc: No such file or directory
gcc: Warning: `-x c-header' after last input file has no effect
gcc: No input files
windres: warning: preprocessor failed
windres: no resources

Best,

Matthew
