i put it there. probably should have gone in .bashprofile instead? i
looked at the cygwin docs and it listed a similar command for mounting the
c:\ to the posix prefix of your choice.

this works (if i add the -p option also) at the cygwin prompt. for example,

java -cp $(cygpath -p -w $CLASSPATH) JavaClass

* where JavaClass is the name of a .class file.
* also /0/java/dev/myPrj is defined in $CLASSPATH

this works, but it is very inconvenient to type this long command at the
prompt everytime one wants to run a java program.
