It can be a lot easier if you have a Makefile-based build system, where you
can do the conversion on things that you know need converting like $(SRC) and
$(OBJS) and $(INCLUDEPATH) but not things like $(CFLAGS), rather than if you
try and write shell scripts to wrap the compiler and parse the options. That
can also be a good approach, but more work to get it completely right.
In my experience, adding cygcheck does slow down a large build system
*significantly* when adding cygpath's though.
^^^^^^^
I can't quite grok that sentence. Why would you add cygcheck to a build system?
Sorry, I meany cygpath.
