Ok, so it seems I'll have to add a check to enforce that the unified
headers directory exists. This means that we are still dependent on `b2
headers`, at least until there is a CMake equivalent.

Ok, I think I understand. You're using native Windows CMake that
generates Windows paths and a Cygwin compiler that doesn't understand
them. That looks like an incorrect config to me; you should be using
Cygwin CMake, which should generate Cygwin paths both in source files
and command lines.
