Then what about:

#! /bin/sh
/full/path/to/javac -d . `for i in $*; cygpath -w $i; done`

put in a file named "javac" placed in your path (e.g. in /usr/local/bin).

If the real javac is not in your PATH, typing

javac *.java

will run the script above and should invoke the real javac with windows
pathnames.

I hope it runs, I don't have time to test it, so don't flame at me; you
should at least get the idea.
