What does cygwin's echo do with this? I'm not close to a Windows machine right now.
If you type:
c:\>c:\cygwin\bin\echo d:\tmp\AshishCode\DeProxyBridgeDependency.cpp
what is output?
It's possible that cygwin's globbing is not correctly interpreting d:\ as a
path spec. It tries to be clever about doing the right thing with dos filespecs
but it could still be broken.
