     running on, then through the shell of the remote Win32 machine. This means
     that every backslash in a dos path has to be replaced with four backslashes
     by cook before the command in which it appears is executed. 

Isn't that what the [quote ...] command is for?
     
     So, don't mess with it.

It won't affect paths on the W32 format.  Only paths converted from
w32 into cygwin. As per my example: C:\Temp becomes //C/Temp whereas
it ought to become /cygdrive/C/Temp
