Actually, there is: if the input path names to gcc/g++ are 
windows-style, it will happily emit windows-style paths to the -M output:

% gcc -M /cygdrive/c/Shankar/foo.c
foo.o: /cygdrive/c/Shankar/foo.c

% gcc -M c:/Shankar/foo.c
foo.o: c:/Shankar/foo.c

And just to remind the OP: "c:/Shankar" *IS* a windows-style name (the 
underlying Win32 API happily takes both \ and / as directory separators).

So you just have to define the directories in your Makefile using 
Windows-style paths, and preferably use "/" to avoid escape-related 
problems..
