The cygwin 'cygpath' command can now convert arbitrary windows and unix
paths into the short ms-dos 8.3 equivalents.  This tools might allow the
windows build system to better deal with those messy long Windows file and
directory names that contain spaces.

EG:

warneg at GRDGROL99X1028: src [1]$ pwd
/cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/WarnesGR/My
Documents/cygwin_home/src/gregmisc/src

warneg at GRDGROL99X1028: src [1]$ cygpath -d "`pwd`"
c:\DOCUME~1\WarnesGR\MYDOCU~1\CYGWIN~1\src\gregmisc\src
