Under Cygwin, LyX already attempts to fix the path (for all exported
files, paths to pictures, etc). The fix is to output the Windows name
(e.g. "C:/Cygwin/Home/Kayvan/foo.lyx") for all file references.
This does not work when the underlying TeX installation is
the newest version of tetex for Cygwin.
In fact, I had to add the following hack to src/support/os_win32.c to get
around this issue:
$ cvs diff -u src/support/os_win32.C
