   I like the arguments and the functionality but I wonder if it should
   be called something with a 'cygnus' or 'cyg' in it just to differentiate
   it.  Or, we already have a poor, underutilized cygwin32 utility.  Could
   this functionality be added to that?

Overloading the cygwin utility doesn't sound quite right to me, since
that seems to be intended for debugging purposes.  However, calling
the command, say, cygpath, sounds reasonable.
