Cygwin Bash Script Syntax Question

Hi;
I am using cygwin on win2k.
I have a __native__ JDK 1.3 installed.
I am trying to write myself a bash script to do some compiling jobs.
I am having trouble getting some path syntax issues ironed out.
The native java will accept either C:\FOO\FOO or C:/FOO/FOO
The native java will not accept /cygdrive/c/FOO/FOO
After some experimentation it seems that bash is getting confused about
the ':' symbol. It seems to be interpreting the ':' in C:/foo as a path
seperator so
PATH=C:/foo:C:/foa
is getting interpreted as specifiying these dirs:
C:/foo
C
foo
Anyway I would like to write a script that would look like this
in a .sh file:
----------------------------------------
export SOURCEDIR=C:/foo
export OUTDIR=C:/foa
export CLASSPATH=C:/abc:C:/def:C:/ghi
javac -sourcepath $SOURCEDIR -d $OUTDIR -classpath $CLASSPATH $1
------------------------------------------
So.....what would the path syntax be like?
Do I use ':' or ';' as directory seperators?
Do I use '/' or '\' ?
I'm sorry if this seems lame but I am getting dizzy from tyring to make
a native windows installation of java work with a cygwin .sh file
Any help will be appreciated
