I hope you're not considering "C:\cygwin" to be the fixed installation
point of the Cygwin suite. On my two computers, one sits at
"C:\Program Files\cygwin", "D:\Program Files\cygwin" on the other.

Also, most Cygwin programs are fairly agnostic about which way the
slashes go, so long as the backslashes are escaped properly.
