Here's my solution. Ugly quoting, but it works.
I chose to convert just a fixed list of environment variables that I know I
want to convert. I guess it would be easy to cycle through all environment
variables and 'bashify' any that look like paths, i.e. any that have
backslashes in them.
# Convert Win32-style paths to Cygwin-style
function bashify {
local p
for p ; do
if [ "${!p}" ] ; then
eval 'export '$p'=$(cygpath -pu "$'$p'")'
fi
done
}
