Alternatively, you can try to implement a $(cygpath ...) function in make and submit *that* to the upstream maintainers.FWIW, I don't think such a function is a good idea, and if it is proposed on the Make mailing list, I will probably object to it.
The reason is that adding such a function goes against portability of Makefiles across different ports of Make,Actually, sorry, I've misread the above. Doesn't GNU make already have a plethora of functions not present in other makes? What's wrong with one more? If "cygpath" is too system-specific a name, let's pick one that isn't ("pathconv"?).
Hey! Get off my computer! :-)
("pathconv" is exactly the name I gave to my tool that hides the differences between Cygwin's path conversion and Interix's path conversion.)
Eh, get a better firewall. :-)
