           Summary: ANT_ARGS altered under cygwin when paths contain
                    backslash
           Product: Ant
           Version: 1.6.2
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Windows 2000
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Wrapper scripts
        AssignedTo: dev@ant.apache.org
        ReportedBy: daniel.santos@pobox.com


example an ANT_ARGS with the following fails under cygwin
-lib C:\ProgramFiles\junit3.8.1\junit.jar

while the following will work

-lib C:/ProgramFiles/junit3.8.1/junit.jar

I presume that when the startup script is constructing the execution string, it
exposes this directly to the shell which in turn considers the backslashes as
escapes
