Description
The wbapi tests do not run correctly on cygwin (they run correctly on mks, solaris and linux).
Sample test failure from jprt with -release jdk8 (which uses cygwin):

EVALUATION The '/-/' that appears as a component in some path names is suspicious; e.g., /cygdrive/c/jprt/temp/P1/211057.jcoomes/source/test/../build/-/testoutput/JTwork It should be something like '/windows-i586/'. (Thanks to Kelly O'Hair and Alejandro Murillo for noticing this.) Presumably something in the makefile is not compatible with cygwin. Can reproduce by running 'jprt submit -n -release jdk8 -onlytargets ".*windows.*"' using a clone of hsx/hotspot-main/hotspot.
