I'm not sure why you mention Cygwin, as it uses colon to separate dirs
in PATH and any other environment variable, just like any unix.  It is
only MinGW and DJGPP where you should use semicolon.  And forward-slash
should work on all of those for directory-separator so there's no need
to even check that.
