You missed the point.  c:/ anything is NOT posix-y.  Rather, you should be
worried whether:

 '-Dsomething=/cygdrive/c/documents and settings/whatever'

is one or three arguments (one if it is quoted correctly, three if it is
not).  You're better off not even trying to use drive letters with a colon
when emulating posix.
