It is cygdrive by default, but it really can be set to anything. I don't use
cygwin either, I only got it installed so I could test the build process under
Windows. I don't think I will spend any more time on this, I have other
things to do and Windows is not my preferred platform. Besides, the solution
you are proposing only handles a special case, not the general case. If it
where up to me, I'd let configure check if cygpath is usable, and if not,
require that the user supply the dos path to configure
(--dospath=c:/whatever/emacs) and use that for buildlisppath and lisp in the
makefiles for leim and lisp respectively. But again, this is not my platform
of choice, so the ones working on this must do what they think is best.
