Hi
My use case is building the CLASSPATH environment variable for java.
Like:
export CLASSPATH="${CLASSPATH}${PATH_SEPARATOR}$(cygpath -w
'my/java/jar/directory/*' )"
CLASSPATH can contain the star character at the end on Windows.
Example C:\Apps\java\lib\* , which means something different then just
C:\Apps\java\lib, ie. the star is necessary there.

So do:
export CLASSPATH="${CLASSPATH}${PATH_SEPARATOR}$(cygpath -w
'my/java/jar/directory')\*"
If you pass the asterisk to cygpath it will naturally consider it to be
a character in a pathname and give you the equivalent Windows path that
Cygwin would construct using the open() syscall. This is cygpath's
purpose, after all!
