Funky Cygwin Path Issues

In getting familiar with Stuart Sierra's lovely Clojure test library Lazytest, I ran into a problem running it from the windows command console. The test output had special control codes not properly processed by the console:

E:\development\clojure\calibration>java -cp src;test;lib/*;lib/dev/* lazytest.watch src test

Reloading calibration.test.core, calibration.core

←[33mNamespaces (no cases run)←[0m

←[33mRan 0 test cases.←[0m
←[32m0 failures.←[0m

Done.

I use mintty for cygwin, which will process those codes correctly, but I then had trouble with the Java classpath:

yawmark$ java -cp "src:test:lib/*:lib/dev/*" lazytest.watch src test
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: lazytest/watch
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: lazytest.watch
        at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(Unknown Source)

        at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(Unknown Source)
Could not find the main class: lazytest.watch.  Program will exit.
Exception in thread "main" [~]

After a little online research, I found that I needed to decorate the classpath a bit:

java -cp `cygpath --path --windows "src:test:lib/*:lib/dev/*"` lazytest.watch src test

After that, all is once again right with the world.
