I think Emacs compiled for Cygwin should understand paths like C:/some/path/to/file.txt since Cygwin understands them.

_Any_ Emacs port to Windows understands C:/some/path/to/file.txt.

Sorry, yes you are right. However, Cygwin Xemacs does understand DOS
paths, and I apologise, as it was the failure to distinguish between the
two that led to my comment.
