You missed the point. c:/ anything is NOT posix-y. Rather, you should be
worried whether:
'-Dsomething=/cygdrive/c/documents and settings/whatever'
is one or three arguments (one if it is quoted correctly, three if it is
not). You're better off not even trying to use drive letters with a colon
when emulating posix.
