The fact that Wtxtcl works fine in one circumstance with Cygwin's POSIX
path is serendipity, not an indication that all such paths should work.
If you wish Wtxtcl to understand Cygwin's POSIX paths, you need to rebuild
from source using Cygwin's gcc or have the author do this for you.  The
"close second" to this option is to use 'cygpath' to convert the POSIX
path into it's Windows equivalent, i.e.:

wtxtcl $(cygpath -wa /tornado/host/src/hutils/muntch.tcl)

Obviously, this has it's limits but should suffice in your case.
