Ah, I see the problem: the native Windows port (which is what I have) converts all `:' that are not part of drive letter spec to `;' (by calling convert_vpath_to_windows32), and then Make parses that using `;' as PATH_SEPARATOR_CHAR, which makes "C:/foo:D:/bar" work. But in the Cygwin build, convert_vpath_to_windows32 is not called and PATH_SEPARATOR_CHAR is `:', so this does not work. I will try to post an experimental patch soon. Thanks for pointing out this problem.
