I don't think so.  Internally, libtool always uses '/' delimitters.
It *should* propogate '\' correctly on cygwin if such a path is passed
in by automake or somesuch -- however, if not, it has always been
broken, and isn't a new problem.

I'll upgrade to cygwin 1.1.4 and post some traces later tonight in the
hope that someone can make more sense of them than I can.

Cheers,
