Here are two simple, imperfect proof-of-concept perl scripts.
The first one just translates everything to /cygdrive/X/foo. The second
one uses cygpath to get mount-table-aware paths.
And, to reiterate: I know that these aren't perfect and miss some cases
(like when part of a filename is located in a variable). I merely offer
them as is as an example of what could be done.

#!/usr/bin/perl
while (<>) {
 s!\b([a-z]):((?:[/\\][^/\\\s]+)+)!"/cygdrive/1ドル" . &fixslash(2ドル)!eg;
 print;
}
sub fixslash {
 my $x = shift;
 $x =~ s%\\%/%g;
 return $x;
}
#!/usr/bin/perl
while (<>) {
 s!\b([a-z]:(?:[/\\][^/\\\s]+)+)!&fix(1ドル)!eg;
 print;
}
sub fix {
 my $x = `cygpath -u '$_[0]'`;
 chomp $x;
 return $x;
}
