/tmp is a valid Windows path.  The Windows command shell may not
recognize it but it is a valid path name and many programs, especially
ones with UNIX origins will properly understand it whether they are
cygwin programs or not.

/tmp (or \tmp) refers to the tmp directory at the root of the current
drive.  So, if you are running on your "D:" drive, you just have to create
a d:\tmp directory.  This should be recognized by a non-cygwin program
as being equivalent to /tmp.

Do you think that I would have been making alternate suggestions if
there was some "work around" for this?

The best workaround is to compile the program using cygwin.
