Many Windows APIs and programs accept either path separator and in such cases there are seldom issues as long as the paths are not too long e.g. try: $ /proc/cygdrive/c/Windows/System32/icacls path/with/slash/delimiters and many programs, including editors and terminals, do a good job of adapting to line endings, including mintty and less. -- Take care.
