Consult the user's guide for more details about POSIX paths: http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using.html#using-pathnames Annoyingly, setting a local environment variable *doesn't* turn off this warning, and possibly as a form of punishment to DOS users there is no further information in the Help and FAQ. Apparently, setting a Windoze System Environment Variable may solve the problem, but in any case this is useless for anyone who wants to block the message for individual scripts, or (like me) has a locked-down Windoze PC.
