I set an environment variable in /etc/profile.d/env.sh that is loaded when
Cygwin starts, like the following:

export M2_HOME=d\:/java/apache-maven-2.2.1

When it is echoed, it shows the value correctly.

$ echo $M2_HOME
d:/java/apache-maven-2.2.1

However, if I suffix it with "/bin", it becomes the following:

$ echo $M2_HOME/bin
/binava/apache-maven-2.2.1

If I run the export statement inline, then there is no problem. 

$ export M2_HOME=d\:/java/apache-maven-2.2.1

$ echo $M2_HOME
d:/java/apache-maven-2.2.1

$ echo $M2_HOME/bin
d:/java/apache-maven-2.2.1/bin

Any idea?
