You know, a headsup along the lines of the faw for 1.5.

So that now leaves us with my my cygwin 1.7 install produces the same output for "cygpath -m foo" and "cygpath -ma foo". I have tried this on two machines, with the same results. $ cygpath foo foo $ cygpath -m foo C:/Documents and Settings/v-leed/foo $ cygpath -ma foo C:/Documents and Settings/v-leed/foo $ And while I'm at it... Dumb question. How do I find out what version of cygwin is installed?
