This is not a Cygwin-imposed limitation, it is one that is mandated by Windows, which defines MAX_PATH to 260 for the ANSI versions of all the file APIs. The only way to get around this is to use the Unicode version of the APIs, and I expect that eventually this will be done. But it's a very large and invasive change and would require significant effort.
