Yeah.  Turns out that cygwin shells actually understand this amazingly strange
path just fine.  And scons seems to understand it OK in some parts but not in
others.  Scons is actually constructing this path internally.  I've notified
the scons guys and they intend to fix all of scon's cygwin support at some
point. :(
