Maybe I've just had a long week but I can't seem to get this to work:
alias pathw='echo `cygpath -w "$@"`'
pathw "/cygdrive/g/"
I also tried:
alias pathw='echo $(cygpath -w "$@")'
cygpath just yells at me that I'm doing something wrong.
Try a real function:
$ function pathw {
> echo $(cygpath -w "$@")

$ pathw /cygdrive/c
C:\

I don't think that $@ is evaluated in the context of an alias.
However, if all you are doing is echoing out the Windows path for a
posix path then that's already what cygpath does. And the following also
would work:
$ alias pathw='cygpath -w'
$ pathw /cygdrive/c
