so - as makeBaseApp's use of find() follows exactly the third form mentioned in the synopsis - what you're saying is: On cygwin File::Find does not work as documented.
Janet looked at this, and discovered that the find() only works if we give it a starting path in the form d:\path\to\dir whereas makeBaseApp.pl was giving it /cygdrive/d/path/to/dir -- there's probably something inside cygwin that makes the /cygdrive/ path a link that isn't followed, or something equally wierd.
We've added another function LocalPath() which does the reverse conversion that UnixPath() does, and the resulting makeBaseApp.pl now works properly on Windows. However there's a parallel problem with the definition of TOP in the generated iocBoot/iocXxx/envPaths file when built on the Borland target (the borland stuff is more picky when it comes to paths), so I'm looking at installing a similar path mangling function into convertRelease.pl which we'll test tomorrow.
