That's unworkable. There's no way to set up Emacs to use cygpath in
every place it passes a file name to external programs. Especially if
some of those programs are native Windows executables, not Cygwin
programs.
So no, there's no way at all to arrange for Cygwin programs invoked
from a native Emacs to always get Posix-style file names.
