Now, one can't do, eg, "cygpath -w -S" to get the system directory in
windows format (or even "cygpath -u -S" to explicitly ask for it in
unix form. Previously these worked. Is that intentional?
"cygpath -f" seems to ignore commandline options, eg to convert to
windows format:
$ cygpath -w -f - <<< /usr/bin/bash
/usr/bin/bash
"cygpath -of" seems to default to windows format rather than unix
format, except for "system directory" options:
$ /bin/echo -e "/usr/bin/bash\n-P" | cygpath -of -
C:\cygwin\bin\bash
/cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/Lev/Start Menu/Programs
Also, why do you have it so that -s is not just a synonym for -d, and
why doesn't -l force -w? There seems to be no advantage to forcing the
user to specify an additional flag.
