7u40 on WXP/Cygwin: webrev: Is there a java or ant version of webrev?

[Francis ANDRE]

Hi Builders

I am really fighting against the triumvira (Cygwin, ksh, webrev.ksh) because of 
a bug in the cd command of the korn shell under cygwin -- log  below --. The cd 
command prepends the target directory where to go by the current $PWD.

cd Z:/DEV/OpenJDK_7u40/hotspot/make/windows/makefiles becomes
cd 
/cygdrive/z/DEV/OpenJDK_7u40/hotspot/Z:/DEV/OpenJDK_7u40/hotspot/make/windows/makefiles

and for sure, the translated directory does not exist.

So, it is clear that's not a problem with webrev.ksh but I am stacked with and I 
have no idea when this problem will be fixed in the Cygwin tool.  Thus I am 
wondering if there is a java or ant version of webrev because I am not able to 
fix this issue in a 3000+ lines of ksh while that's not a problem in java or ant.
