Shouldn't GetShortPathName() == 0 always cause the get_short_name() function to fail?
I would sincerely hope not. I see no reason why cygpath conversion has to be tied to the existence of files. We often need to use cygpath to convert between formats for files which we are about to create.
e.g.
notepad `cygpath -d "/cygdrive/c/some nonexistent file.txt"`
will make notepad create that file for me.
