ksh93 has a variable type for automatically converting UNIX pathnames to
Windows pathnames.
This is an excerpt from the documentation for the typeset command of ksh:
--8<--
-H Hostname mapping. Each name holds a native path-
name. Assigning a UNIX format pathname will cause
it to be converted to a pathname suitable for the
current host. This has no effect when the native
system is UNIX.
--8<--
So I'd rather suggest patching bash to support this kind of variables than
anything else. Or to port ksh (which would also mean to port the AT&T AST
library first).
Or, just use Windows paths, as Chris suggested.
