Hi Bastien,

thanks for pointing out that the version is missing. I am running:

ELISP> (emacs-version)
"GNU Emacs 23.2.1 (i386-mingw-nt6.1.7601)\n of 2010-05-08 on G41R2F1"

The issue with shell-quote is as follows:

ELISP> (shell-quote-argument "c:/org/test")
"c\\:/org/test"

The problem is the backslash before the colon as quoting colons doesn't
seem to be legal in Cygwin.
