Hm...I would have expected your "Contributed-by" and my review would be 
sufficient (what we do for sponsoring an "author" change), but looks 
like Erik did review also so we should be fine.

You are correct in that pandoc is not provded by cygwin, I had to 
download/install cygdrive separately (grrr...), then set the PANDOC 
configure option:

      bash configure \
         PANDOC=c:/Users/mydir/bin/pandoc.exe \

That said, I'm not quite following your point about cygwin's 
noninclusion of pandoc here.

The underlying issue is that the arguments being passed to pandoc aren't 
being processed correctly.

     --toc 
'/cygdrive/d/java/ws/dev/jdk/src/closed/java.base/share/specs/security/standard-names.md'
     -o 
'/cygdrive/d/java/ws/dev/build/windows-x86_64-normal-server-release/support/javadoc/specs/security/standard-names.html' 


pandoc.exe: 
/cygdrive/d/java/ws/dev/jdk/src/closed/java.base/share/specs/security/standard-names.md: 
openFile: does not exist (No such file or directory)

Changing to the following worked:

     --toc 
'd:/java/ws/dev/jdk/src/closed/java.base/share/specs/security/standard-names.md'
     -o 
'd:/java/ws/dev/build/windows-x86_64-normal-server-release/support/javadoc/specs/security/standard-names.html' 


which is what FIXPATH does, IIUC.

Thanks for the review.

Brad
