No, it is even exacerbated, if possible. They introduced a
BOOST_CYGWIN_PATH define which simply means allowing Windows style paths
but using the posix api functions on cygwin. Now, you tell me what brings
to you the fact that you can build a cygwin application which *only*
understands Windows style paths but makes use of posix functions.

The correct way is simply allowing both windows and posix style paths
on cygwin, but I think that this has something to do with religion,
so I don't think they will ever do the right thing.

See above. Bo, you have your patch if you want to apply it to the
cygwin package.
