Swish-e is ported to Windows and not Cygwin.  The reason we convert / to
\ is because the Windows shell (cmd.exe or command.com) doesn't
understand anything else.  Cygwin is probably using a UNIX shell.

Cygwin may be defining _WIN32 when it is emulating a UNIX environment.
If you can disable the _WIN32 definition then Swish-e should work fine.
If you cannot disable the _WIN32 definition then the #ifdef _WIN32 lines
in Swish-e may need to be changed to something like:
  #if defined(_WIN32) && !defined(__CYGWIN__)

If that works then I can probably make the change before 2.4.4.  It will
be a while before I can test it myself.
