That's also my impression. The way cywin-mount.el does it seems good enough.

I don't think so. E.g. emacsclient doesn't need to know about those
things, because it should just pass its arguments untouched to server.el
which can then do whatever it feels like doing with it, including
un-cygwinize file names.

No, the whole point of my discussion is that it should *not* be
a file-name-handler (i.e. unlike Tramp and cygwin-mount) because that's
too intrusive. If you want cygwin-name support within Emacs (i.e. as
a file-name-handler), then cygwin-mount is the right way to do it.
