I'd like to point out that such a patch would be all of about five lines 
of "code"... (And for the record, I've written both new make functions 
AND my own version of cygpath, so I know what I'm talking about.)

Except note you would almost certainly want $(cygpathu) and $(cygpathw).

Because no one seems to have gotten the point yet, 
http://cygwin.com/acronyms/#SHTDI ...and that somebody is not likely to 
be one of the people not having problems, so if all these other posters 
would kindly put their patches where their mouths are, then maybe 
something would be accomplished.
