Here are two simple, imperfect proof-of-concept perl scripts.

The first one just translates everything to /cygdrive/X/foo.  The second
one uses cygpath to get mount-table-aware paths.

And, to reiterate: I know that these aren't perfect and miss some cases
(like when part of a filename is located in a variable).  I merely offer
them as is as an example of what could be done.

#!/usr/bin/perl
while (<>) {
    s!\b([a-z]):((?:[/\\][^/\\\s]+)+)!"/cygdrive/$1" . &fixslash($2)!eg;
    print;
}

sub fixslash {
    my $x = shift;
    $x =~ s%\\%/%g;
    return $x;
}

#!/usr/bin/perl
while (<>) {
    s!\b([a-z]:(?:[/\\][^/\\\s]+)+)!&fix($1)!eg;
    print;
}

sub fix {
    my $x = `cygpath -u '$_[0]'`;
    chomp $x;
    return $x;
}
