I don't know who added the cygpath kludge to the W32 makefiles, but
breaking the mingw32 build in order to get the broken Cygwin ports of
make to work is a serious bug. I will remove the cygpath calls from
the makefiles. If someone can find a way to add them without breaking
the mingw32 build, then feel free to install that.
