As win FAT's doesn't allow any filename with that kind of characters

colon ":", can be mapped through cygwin as it just does with slashes. Could
be possible? Thanks.
There are a few packages (Perl for example) which create file names
with colons. Windows doesn't like this.
It would be good if Cygwin mapped these into something compatible,
say, an equal sign.
