Grr... Well at least I fixed the first assertion.

The test it's failing on is trying to ensure that the Cygwin 
cygwin_conv_to_win32_path() function works as expected. The problem I 
tried to fix, as reported by another cygwin user, is that the 
"/cygdrive" path is not fixed. Hence when a user sets it to something 
else the test would fail. My fix is to "extract" that string from the 
env. Could you run the jam0.exe in gdb to see what the l->string and 
cygpath values are in the var_expand_unit_test function?
