You should be aware that "cygpath" did not exist in Cygnus b20.1,
and it's arguments have changed slightly since Cygwin 1.0 (the
commercial CD), so the cygpath you are calling will probably
only work for users with cygwin 1.1.x and newer.
You should probably document this somewhere to avoid a new FAQ ;->

Subject: jde-convert-cygwin-path improvement
Seems that jde-convert-cygwin-path does not know about the mount table, this
causes real problems with mount points. Since cygwin comes with a utility,
cygpath, that will do these conversions correctly for you I've written a
method that calls cygpath to do the conversion and hacked
jde-convert-cygwin-path to use it.
(defun cygwin-path-to-mswindows-path-jps (path)
"Converts a cygwin path to an mswindows path. Requires that cygpath is in
your path."
(interactive)
(save-excursion
(let ((buf-name "*cygwin-jps-output*"))
(shell-command (concat "cygpath -w -p '" path "'") buf-name)
(let ((output (buffer-substring nil nil buf-name)))
(kill-buffer buf-name)
(replace-in-string output "\n" "")))))
(defun jde-convert-cygwin-path (path &optional separator)
(cygwin-path-to-mswindows-path-jps (replace-in-string path ";" ":")))
