Maybe.  There's a currfile LaTeX packages which has some macros for
printing the path of the current file.  I haven't used it so far but
maybe that can do the trick, i.e., diagnose which directory is active
during compilation.

You mean, you want to install the cygwin TeX Live and then use that from
both cygwin emacs and windows emacs?  I actually don't know but I think
chances are better than the (current) other way round since emacs uses
~/path/like/these also on windows IIRC.
