It's no accident that make used to, and now again will, be supporting Windows paths. People put considerable time and effort into making it work originally, and then again just recently in finally solving the problem and pushing the fix upstream.

I think you're misreading the make issue. Using Windows paths in make was apparently never "asking for problems" until the last release, at which time a problem was introduced, a solution was found, pushed upstream, and the problem is now solved (or will be when the next Cygwin build is released). -- Gary R.
