Provide a backtrace, please. I promise you we'll consider your proposal
and all the alternatives as soon as we know what's broken.

There's no need to be snarky. Emacs has many contributors and I
maintain gnutls.el (but welcome contributions). I will gladly make the
change to avoid a path like "/usr/ssl/whatever" that doesn't work in
Cygwin, but I don't want to make that change in order to hide an
underlying problem. Eli has the best background to make sense of this
problem and diagnose it.
In other words, if a magic path can break Emacs because of some library
interaction beneath the ELisp code, the fix is *probably* not at the
ELisp level because there are so many potential trigger points for the
bad behavior.

Thank you, we'll take that under consideration as well.
