The Cygwin Users' Guide says "Using native Win32 paths in Cygwin, while
possible, is generally inadvisable."

http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using.html#pathnames-win32

Is this similar to the problem of line ending (POSIX lf vs. Windows
cr-lf)?  Windows Notepad won't correctly display files with lf line
endings, either.
So maybe this should be a configuration option, as with line endings?
