This converted Unix paths to Windows paths, but all cygwin tools
work with Unix paths so this shouldn't be needed.

There is one use case if you use a cygwin pkgconf with a non-cygwin toolchain,
but pkgconf works reasonable well natively now so this shouldn't be needed
anymore and more likely leads to problems and confusion.

Both cygwin and msys have patched this out already:
