Your patch does not sound right. It says that under cygwin, all
programs should use dos-style paths. If this is the case, a simple
#ifdef __CYGWIN__ could be used to hardcode this into LyX...

However, I guess that the situation is that _some_ programs (like
teTeX) will need to use dos-style paths. In this case, what we may
need is a new converter flag that says whether a converter require
external or internal paths.

Could you tell us, among all helpers programs used with LyX on
windows, which ones require dos names, which ones require unix names
and which ones can use both? I think this would give us an idea on how
to proceed.
