[Flac] metaflac problem on cygwin

[Dat Head]

ever since going from flac 1.1.2 to 1.1.4 on cygwin I've encountered an issue
where I can't use metaflac on certain path specifications (see examples below).

I tried again with 1.2.1 and it still doesn't work (I can't recall but
I think it is from the cygwin dist, not the windows installed version)

not sure if this is a flac issue, or a cygwin one, but thougt i'ld start here.

                thanx,
                        fish
