I exhausted all obvious possibilites, including that one, before

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"`"'"'
    TLIB 4.5 Copyright (c) 1987, 1999 Inprise Corporation

    Error: opening '\c:\foo.LIB'

The response should look like:

    C:\boost\tools\build\jam_src>c:\tools\Borland\BCC55\Bin\tlib.exe "c:\foo-bar\baz"
    TLIB 4.5 Copyright (c) 1987, 1999 Inprise Corporation

    Error: opening 'c:\foo-bar\baz.LIB'
