I thought about this a little more... Now 'windows cmake' doesn't know
about cygwin, but 'cygwin cmake' knows about windows. What I need to
do is convert a unix path to a windows path to put it in the xml
project file of eclipse. This can be done with:

$ cygpath -wa /builds/eclipse_workspace
d:\eclipse_workspace

Now, is there a way to make this call during generation? That is when
I hit the Generate button.
