Many Windows APIs and programs accept either path separator and in such cases
there are seldom issues as long as the paths are not too long e.g. try:

	$ /proc/cygdrive/c/Windows/System32/icacls path/with/slash/delimiters

and many programs, including editors and terminals, do a good job of adapting to
line endings, including mintty and less.
