I honestly can't say for sure if cygpaths represent a problem for the
build side of CDT, but I don't think they do. For sure they are
problematic for the debugger since the debug information injected by the
Cygwin compiler has the cygpaths and the debugger deals with native paths
unless told otherwise through a path mapping.
