That way, the Cygwin make will not have to invoke a separate process to convert the paths that it (as a program linked to cygwin1.dll) already knows how to do.I'd like to point out that such a patch would be all of about five lines of "code"... (And for the record, I've written both new make functions AND my own version of cygpath, so I know what I'm talking about.)
Properly written, perhaps about 10. But what's a constant factor between friends? ;-)
Except note you would almost certainly want $(cygpathu) and $(cygpathw).
Umm, actually I was thinking of $(cygpath) with 2 parameters -- the type of conversion, and the list of paths.
