Issue on output when using javac or scalac under emacs

[Eliot Moss]

Dear Luc -- You should be aware that while Cygwin can invoke Java, the Windows Java still expects 
_Windows-style_ arguments, including Windows paths, etc.

For example, not a/b/c:d/e but 'a\b\c;d\e" for a path.

Just because you're using Cygwin, the installed Java is not "magically" transported to the Linux world!

You may also run into issues around line endings (CR/LF vs LF only, and so forth).
