I'm not exactly sure what you are trying to accomplish with that patch,
but it looks to me as if everything you want is already present:
cygpath --help
states
-i, --ignore ignore missing argument
which outputs nothing if you pass it an empty argument (or even without
any further argument at all).
Isn't that ( cygpath -mli "$possibly_empty_var" ) what you need?
Well, if you're actually going to look at the existing functionality
of 'cygpath' before jumping into a thread, you're going to take all the
fun out of it for the rest of us. ;-)
Thanks for pointing out the flaw in my original reply and for providing
an answer that I believe Andrey will appreciate.
