This explains its format and also the trailing slash that I can't easily remove neither because the path is processed by libtool. And while in the future I might try switching to Cygwin MinGW cross-compiler, this can't be done right now so I'd really like to find some way of making Windows paths with "..//" in them work with Cygwin.
