No dice:
dave@penguin /cygdrive/c/boost/tools/build/test
$ foo=/cygdrive/c/foo-bar/baz
dave@penguin /cygdrive/c/boost/tools/build/test
$ /cygdrive/c/tools/Borland/BCC55/Bin/tlib.exe '"'"`cygpath -w "$foo"`"'"'

The response should look like:
C:\boost\tools\build\jam_src>c:\tools\Borland\BCC55\Bin\tlib.exe "c:\foo-bar\baz"
