Cygwin, as in, the utilities, when fed with native path - mostly works.
Specific program on the inside of it - it's up to that program.

You have to ask mksh author(s).

The last trend in *NIX society, that I noticed, is to write portable scripts.
Which means, they should work with /bin/sh. (The base POSIX shell implementation.)
