Hi,

using the Cygwin environment and maintaining a make system for several =
users there are often troubles because of users that have blanks in the=
ir paths. Since I've seen several requests for shart path names within =
the list I just added the option -s (or --short-name) to the cygpath ut=
ility that can be used in combination with the -w option to receive the=
 filenames or the path in the short form of Windows.

/cygdrive/c/Program Files/Internet Explorer $ cygpath -was IEXPLORE.EXE=

C:\PROGRA~1\INTER~\IEXPLORE.EXE
/cygdrive/c/Program Files/Internet Explorer $ cygpath -wp $CLASSPATH
.;C:\PROGRA~1\JBUILDER\JRE\LIB

Additionally I added an option -i (or --ignore) to prevent the Cygpath =
utility showing the "usage message" when the filename argument is omitt=
ed. This comes in handy using cygpath in make rules passing files as op=
tional argument to Windows/DOS based utilities. Otherwise the "usage me=
ssage" would always be printed using stderr.

RESFILE=3D
OBJFILE=3Dutil.obj

%.exe: %.obj $(RESFILE)
     link $(cygpath -w $<) $(cygpath -wi $(RESFILE))


Patches for cygpath.cc and utils.sgml attached made from the tarball so=
urce of cygwin-1.2.2.tar.gz.

Greetings,
J=F6rg
