You can use 'cygpath' to translate among the various forms of a path
name. In this case, the idea would be to replace
cd '%1'
by something like
cd "`cygpath -u '%1'`"
I still have a hard time getting the quoting right in these
situations, though, so you may have to play with that a bit. Some
sort of quoting surrounding the argument to 'cd' is necessary so
that paths containing spaces will appear to 'cd' as a single
argument.
