cygpath feature suggestion

- Subject: cygpath feature suggestion
It would be useful if cygpath could work as a filter, taking in lists of
paths on the standard input and put them out one per line on the standard
output. This could be used as a work-around for
for F in
`command_or_pipe_creating_a_list_of_files_with_spaces_in_them`
do
echo ${F}
done
causing the file names to be split up at the spaces.
Yes, I know, PTC, but I'm not a programmer. This is just a suggestion.
