There does appear to be some issue here. Even at the DOS prompt, the backslash needs to be escaped in order to work (in the example above). Other Cygwin utilities don't have this problem. It's worth noting that the POSIX path and the "c:/test.rc" alternative paths both work fine though with windres.
