That's one thing. Also, in cygwin, it would be more correct to use
cygdrive, such as in:

  Windows:
  My Documents

  Cygwin:
  /cygdrive/c/Documents\ and\ Settings/<<user>>/My\ Documents/

What I do is to have a symlink in my Cygwin home directory pointing to
the Amber dir:
   $ ls -l work
   lrwxrwxrwx 1 seabra None 60 Apr 29 16:00 work ->
/cygdrive/c/Documents and Settings/seabra/My Documents/Work/

and the Amber directory in "work" (which is actually inside "My
Documents"). Then, I can define AMBERHOME as:
 AMBERHOME="/home/seabra/work/amber10"

HTH,
Gustavo.
