Hello Andrey,

> Then do not mix environments.

That is not my choice, but rather my supervisor's choice. I began
engineering our new CMake-based build system purely with MinGW
toolchains in mind, statically linked ones even since I already know how
well-received it would be if I required people to install a MinGW
environment and had them add it to their PATH.

Then I was told we might have to abandon this new system if we can't
keep using our Cygwin toolchains.

I know it is very unwise to attempt this and entirely unproductive.

I wish that was good enough, but I'm supposed to make it work with all
the GUI and integrated debugging capabilities the other toolchains have.
It is so very frustrating.

Back to the technical aspects: I just don't see why the current command
line handling is supposed to be good. I find it to be very surprising as
its entire purpose is interfacing with non-Cygwin software. Why should
the "non-Cygwin" software assume the command line to be parsed according
to Bash's rules?

Best regards

Oliver
