* Keith Marshall | But, would cygpath -- I would prefer it to be renamed as msyspath -- | actually help, in any of the scenarios already identified as current | failure cases? I may be wrong, but I suspect that it wouldn't; surely | any path string emitted by this msyspath, on subsequently passing it as | an argument to a native application, would still end up being scrambled | by the built-in heuristics? We called it as last resort from a win32 application using popen(), thus reading the output directly inside the win32 app. We used an 'enhanced' cygpath version anyway (merge between cygwin and msys switches), but I'd definitely vote for 'keep'.
