RFR: All test targets, jdk/test/Makefile, fail on Windows

Recent changes to jdk/test/Makefile, in TL, causes all test batches to 
fail on Windows. I would like to propose a temporary measure to get the 
tests running again. This will give us the time to come up with a better 
longer term solution.

 From what I can tell cygpath, with '-s', fails when the path does not 
exist. At least on version 1.7.17 & 1.7.18. Trivially, I would like to 
propose to remove the '-s', as a temporary measure to get the test 
running again.
