With the two patches from the OP, plus patching `makepkg` to change all
`pwd -P` to straight `pwd`, AND patching msys2's msys2_path_conv.cc
`posix_to_win32_path` to use the new flag to path_conv, I was finally able
to build the problematic package with the long name...  I imagine
`cygwin_conv_path` should have that flag too, for cygpath and `pwd -W`.

Hopefully there's a better (less invasive) approach that I'm not seeing.
