Hi Magnus:
With the rewrite in JDK-8035495, we unfortunately lost the ability to run configure on Cygwin in the /home/<user> directory. (Since this is transcribed with cygpath to not begin with the usual /cygdrive/ prefix.)This fix restores that functionality. Bug: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8035730WebRev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~ihse/JDK-8035730-configure-fails-in-cygwin-for-home-dir/webrev.01
Looks good to me. Tim
