This is awkward in the context of something like $EDITOR, which is spawned 
off by some non-Cygwin program to run vim.  In this case you'd either need 
to do a .bat file, or else a simple executable that ran cygpath and then 
exec'ed vim.  The vim fix turns out to be basically a one-liner anyway.

I've pretty well fixed up everything I need to now, and Cygwin is humming
along very nicely.  Many thanks to the efforts of all those involved.
(BTW, I've got a modified bash.exe that doesn't pass ":" to readlist as a
word-break character if anyone would like a patch or a binary.)
