Uh, that explains it. The full message is
MS-DOS style path detected: %s
Preferred POSIX equivalent is: %s
CYGWIN environment variable option "nodosfilewarning" turns off this warning.
Consult the user's guide for more details about POSIX paths:
http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using.html#using-pathnames\n");
This message is only generated once per session and can be switched
off entirely using the CYGWIN=nodosfilewarning setting.
Bottom line: Don't use DOS paths.
Second bottom line: It would be interesting to learn why the message
has been printed, *iff* you didn't use a DOS path somewhere explicitely.
