Is there some way that a CL implementation can know whether it is running under a Unix-alike like Cygwin or MinGW?

Another point to consider in finding the Right Thing here:

Since ABCL runs on the JVM and the JVM is a Windows "native" executable, there is no difference for ABCL whether it has been invoked under cygwin or not. Of course, since we have a fair about of specializaion in ABCL's PATHNAME implementation to smooth over the differences between Windows and UNIX representations, notably in the normalization of NAMESTRING results, the problems you are trying to engineer around here don't show up in ABCL from what I can tell.
