I'm not sure I understand the use case.  Are you talking about a user
who wants to feed a Cygwin Emacs with a native Windows style file
name?  Why would she want to do that?

I could understand a different use case: when a native Windows program
invoked by a Cygwin Emacs returns Windows style file names.  But for
that, read-file-name is not the place to add support for this.
