Probs with file-entities.php.in and Cygwin

Hi there, after a veeeery long break, I try to use some of my still very limited time to follow the list again, and sync at least my "critical" trasnslation-files. Unfortunately, a configure is not so easy, because the file-entities.ent can't be created at my Cygwin-config. file-entities.php.in relies in line 56 on @WORKDIR@, which is in fact the return of a 'pwd' and gives therefore /home/.... Since my Cygwin is installed at c:/cygwin, the right absolute path can't be created with pwd. So is there any reason against letting do PHP the job instead of autoconf and change the line 56 in file-entities.php.in from $out_dir = abs_path(preg_replace("!^/cygdrive/(\\w)/!", "\\1:/", "@WORKDIR@")); to e.g. $out_dir = preg_replace(array("!\\\!","!/scripts$!"), array("/",""), getcwd()); (have I missed something in the hurry)? Thanks, Thomas
