Actually, you're reporting what 'uname -s' provides, which just tells you
which version of Windows you're running Cygwin on.  You're apparently
running XP.  CYGWIN_NT-5.0 would indicate that the O/S is W2K.  
'uname -r' would describe the Cygwin DLL release you're running.

Cygwin will not report DOS/Windows path formats.  It reports POSIX-style 
instead.  You can convert back to DOS/Windows from POSIX with 'cygpath'.
Take a look at 'man cygpath' for details.
