These kind of questions bugged me (when I last used cygwin) and there
must be a more cygwin-ish way of handling paths.
1. The proper way is probably to use http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/cygwin-mount.el
I remember trying it and not getting it to work -- but I did not
try very hard
2. An improper way recommended by Steve Yegge is to install cygwin not
in c:/cygwin but in C: then everything "just works". This of course
flies in the face of strong strictures from cygwin
3. Maybe you can just set the eshell-path-env and it works as you
want?
4. Getting compile to work is better as Dan suggests. Maybe you can
adjust compile-command?
