Why it ate the leading backslash?

'\' is a escape character for Cygwin just the way it is in UNIX/Linux.
You either need to escape it or, better yet, use forward slashes.

Neither is possible without sophisticated wrapper... This is called from menu
entry in FAR Manager.
:( I'd, however, try to get this through as a feature request...

Or protect the backslashes: use single quotes

'\\REMOTE\C$\...\php-tools\GalleryClass.php'

Unfortunatelly...

diff.exe -cdb -x "CVS" -x ".svn" -I "\$Id.*\$" --strip-trailing-cr -- 
'\\REMOTE\C$\...\GalleryClass.php' 'C:\...\GalleryClass.php'
diff: \REMOTE\C$\...\GalleryClass.php: No such file or directory

Seems like if you can change the quotes, you're very close to being
able to invoke 'cygpath' to do the conversion you need.  Since I know
nothing about Far Manager, I don't know if this is a small step or a
huge leap.  But I figured I'd through it out there.
