We run "make" from cygwin, but it spawns:
 /cygdrive/c/Python25/python bzr ...

Which is *not* a cygwin aware python. Which means that cygwin is only
used as the controlling program, and not as the *platform* the tests are
being run on.

I use cygwin shell 95% of the time, and have no problem testing Unicode
filesystem issues. I just *never* run cygwin's python.
