epstopdf issues under cygwin

[Alois Steindl]

Just an partial answer to my own question:
I found, that in the new epstopdf.pl script there is a check, if 
kpsewhich can be found in the PATH.
On line 545 it reads
for my $dir (split ($on_windows_or_cygwin ? ";" : ":", $ENV{"PATH"})) {

Since the path separator in cygwin is ":", split returns the whole path 
and cannot find kpsewhich there. If I replace $on_windows_or_cygwin by 
$on_windows, the program works nicely.

With kind regards
Alois
