The true answer is - "depends"...
If you do not need interoperation between Cygwin and pure Windows stuff, you
could use either scheme, but the latter is preferred under Cygwin banner.
In case you DO need to work with Windows tools, the former scheme would
satisfy both worlds. (Windows does not see a difference betwen \ and / as
directory separators on the very low level, but this matters for a lot of
Cygwin tools.)
