Don't do this if you just need to convert Linux style file paths to
windows file paths.
Use the cygpath.exe from MSYS2 by installing it and adding its bin
directory to your windows path.
This does not require the cygwin1.dll, and is designed to interoperate
well with windows.
If you need to interact with the cygwin environment from powershell,
start powershell from the bash prompt so PS is embedded in the cygwin
environment. Then all the mounts expected by cygwin programs are
established, so when you run cygwin programs from PS, they run in the
env they expect.
