28 Convert a MSYS path list to Windows-native format.
30 PATHLIST should be a colon-separated list of MSYS paths, which will be
31 written to the standard output after performing these transformations:
33 1. Discard empty paths.
34 2. Replace: '\' with '/', '//' with '/' and ':' with ';'.
35 3. Translate absolute paths to Windows-native format.
