I missed this the first time around.

What you need is a small sed script in your postinstall script. The sed
script can replace some symbol with the output from 'cygpath -w
/usr/X11/....'.

As for linefeed issues, AFAIK windows will process bat files with unix
format, but you could always use d2u in your script.

Additionally you need to make your package depend on the tools you use
in your script.
