Did you try that? It doesn't work for me. For one thing, I see no
indication in cygpath's "--help" output that an argument of "-" tells
it to read a name or names to convert from standard input. Nor will
cygpath process multiple files (on the command line) in a single
invocation (as you seem to suggest below).
