Jerome,
Agreed, it's not a problem with Cygwin per se but with the test
used by mktexlsr to decide with path separator to use. So therefore,
although "Cygwin is not DOSISH", the test for $COMSPEC passes,
( echo $COMSPEC -> C:\WINNT\system32\cmd.exe )
and causes mktexlsr to use ';' instead of ':'
If that is what you were saying, then ignore my comments.
Thanks,
--Kevin

It is not a Cygwin problem:
in fact Cygwin is not DOSISH : that the point:
I plan to submit a change file sooner.
