You need to write a path translator and hook it into man. I had to do this for clisp slime, native xemacs with cygwin clisp. See http://article.gmane.org/gmane.lisp.slime.devel/2475"; as an example > 2 If I start emacs from cygwin bash shell, I get a popup window stating > "c:\Program Files\GNU\emacs-22.3\bin\cmdproxy.exe the NTVDM CPU has > encoutered an illegal instruction. ...
