it doesn't have to. Simply check the existence of CYGWIN environment  
variable, and if it is set,

ifdef CYGWIN
lisp = $(shell cygpath -m $(CURDIR))
else
lisp = $(CURDIR)
endif

See this is need only in the makefile.w32-in. For those who compile  
window native Emacs using cygwin utils, this change can only help  
them, and it won't affect minGW. For those compile Emacs under  
cygwin, they don't use makefile.w32-in. I don't see what other system  
will be affected except maybe nmake.
