[Mingw-users] [mingw - Unix2Windows2Unix] MSYS path behavior ins Cygwin

[SourceForge.net <no...@so...>]

Hey all,

I used to use MSYS simply as my general purpose shell (infinitely better than
cmd!)  However, I've started using Cygwin since I really just use it as a shell
rather than a build environment, and Cygwin has the full selection of tools.

That said, one thing I loved about msys is the ability to pass a msys style
path and have it automatically converted, i.e. I could start gvim like so:
gvim.exe /c/src/myfile.cs 
and the path would convert to 'C:\src\myfile.cs' for the windows exe.

I know cygwin has the cygpath util to deal with this...  But is there any way
to get the MSYS automatic path conversion in Cygwin?  I know Cygwin has 'MinGW
runtime' library packages - Is there some way to use those libs in Cygwin to
get the desired effect?  Any insight?

Thanks!
