Please refer to the official Cygwin documentation, not some unmaintained
project that stopped getting updates over a decade ago:

http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-utils.html

Specifically for Emacs, the "-m" option to cygpath seems the most
suitable.  Please do not link to the Cygwin DLL from Windows Emacs
(i.e. "using the equivalent C function").  The only reason to use a
native Emacs on Windows (for me anyway) is that I can update Cygwin
while I keep Emacs running and that wouldn't be possible if the DLL was
locked because it was still in use.  For anything else (if you don#t
want to start an X server), there's emacs-w32 from Cygwin.


Regards,
Achim.
