If I use `pwd` in a shell script or makefile & pass that to a non-cygwin
tool, like javac, it doesn't know what to do with /cygdrive/e/project .
It would be extremely usefull to have a variant of pwd that would use
the windows drive letter format (e:/project).

cygpath -w `pwd`

or

cygpath -w $PWD

will give the Windows path of the current directory.  Change -w to -u
and give it a windows path, it will print the cygwin/unix style path.
