yeah, I did a little more mucking around and came up with cygpath. Its not the most obvious place to find that information though, nothing in unix screams out 'cygpath is what you want!!!' since there *are* no unix analogs. I think that the same options that are on cygpath should also be on pwd; this might make things a little more user friendly.
