There is no solution.  If you found this mentioned several times then
you should have found an explanation from me that this cygwish80.exe is
basically a pure windows app and so does not understand cygwin paths.

The only solution is to submit a patch to rectify this behavior.

Hopefully the next person searching the mailing list archives will find
this message.
