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

[Jonathan Gibbons]

I disagree.  Using Cywin paths like /cygdrive/z/dev is a PITA since 
they're not understood down at the Java level, meaning that any time you 
exit the Cygwin ecosystem, you have to convert to native paths.

Using mixed paths is often a viable pragmatic compromise.

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.
