It seems there's been a change in 'cygpath -w' behaviour. Is this intentional?
On 1.7.1 (with C:\ as Cygwin root): $ cygpath -w /tmp C:\tmp On 1.7.2s(0.222/5/3) 20100219 12:56:31: $ cygpath -w /tmp \\?\C:\tmp The latter breaks scripts that aren't sufficiently careful about backslash quoting, because "\\?\C:\tmp" loses a vital backslash during quote removal.
