Well, apart from the final switch of '\' to '/', that seems like a sensible
thing to do. (Yes, I understand that there are reasons to do that.)
What I think would be interesting, however, is to try
char dp[255];
cygwin_conv_to_full_win32_path(p.c_str(), dp);
- dos_path = subst(dp,'\\','/');
+ char dp_short[255];
+ GetShortPathName(dp, dp_short, 255);
+ dos_path = subst(dp_short,'\\','/');
and see if that works too.

Ok, I'll bite. What goes wrong? Why?
