Unfrtunately $cfile is the output of 'cygpath -w ../hello.c'
in this case, e.g. '\\somehost\somepath\hello.c'. So $cofile
is set to '\\somehost\somepath\hello.o'. Surely not correct.

How about this patch for compile?

cofile=`echo "$cfile" | sed -e 's|^.*[/\\]||' -e 's/\.c$/.o/'`
                                     ^^^^^
If a user adds '\' into his Unix filenames and uses a compiler
that doesn't understand -c -o, then he is out of luck.
