Recent Cygwin did this nastiness to you (us). You need to do this in
your init file or similar, to tell Cygwin "Hands off!":
(setenv "CYGWIN" "nodosfilewarning")
I also added that to `setup-cygwin.el', in case you want to use that:
http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs-en/download/setup-cygwin.el
(Cygwin folks apparently don't like this... See Emacs bug #14541:
http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=14541)
HTH.
