It would be useful if cygpath could work as a filter, taking in lists of
paths on the standard input and put them out one per line on the standard
output.  This could be used as a work-around for 
	for F in
`command_or_pipe_creating_a_list_of_files_with_spaces_in_them`
	do
		echo ${F}
	done
causing the file names to be split up at the spaces.

Yes, I know, PTC, but I'm not a programmer.  This is just a suggestion.
