If Cygwin doesn't find the executable in $PATH, the string is used literally when calling spawn_guts, which in turn converts the incoming path to an absolute Windows path, which obviously works fine. This is a bug and the fix is easy, but it's not a regression, so we should better stick to it until after 1.7.1.
