Lee,

Perhaps. In particular, if one uses Windows mode (instead of mixed 
mode) you get the result I think you were expecting (except, of course, 
for the orientation of the name separators).

Witness:

% cygpath -d /cygdrive/d/Documents\ and\ Settings/
d:\DOCUME~1\

% cygpath -lm "d:\DOCUME~1\"
cygpath -lm "d:\DOCUME~1\"
d:/DOCUME~1/

% cygpath -w "d:\DOCUME~1\"
d:\DOCUME~1\

% cygpath -lw "d:\DOCUME~1\"
d:\Documents and Settings\
