Yes, good point. I would suggest:

-M, --mydocs    output 'My Documents' directory

and as an extension for still missing folders:

-F n, --folder=n   output special folder with CSIDL value n (with 0xHEX 
allowed)

Examples:

$ cygpath -M
/cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/USER/My Documents

$ cygpath -F 5
/cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/USER/My Documents

$ cygpath -F 0x19
/cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/All Users/Desktop

$ cygpath -F 0x1a
/cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/USER/Application Data

$ cygpath -F 0x35
/cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/All Users/My Music

With a simple wrapper script, all symbolic may be used:

n="$(sed -n 's,#define CSIDL_'"$1"'\t\([0-9]*\),\1,p' 
/usr/include/w32api/shlobj.h)"
cygpath -F ${n:?"$1 not found"}


Thanks for any comment

Christian
