This is normal. I use cygwin for the Unix utils (mv/cp/ln, ls, file, grep, less, zsh, diff, patch etc.) but do not use its perl, python or emacs. The filesystem and path issues (/cygdrive etc.) quickly become too severe no matter how you adjust the cygwin mount points. -- . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
