so - as makeBaseApp's use of find() follows exactly the third form

does not work as documented.

Janet looked at this, and discovered that the find() only works if we

give it a starting path in the form d:\path\to\dir whereas

makeBaseApp.pl was giving it /cygdrive/d/path/to/dir -- there's probably

something inside cygwin that makes the /cygdrive/ path a link that isn't

followed, or something equally wierd.

We've added another function LocalPath() which does the reverse

conversion that UnixPath() does, and the resulting makeBaseApp.pl now

works properly on Windows. However there's a parallel problem with the

definition of TOP in the generated iocBoot/iocXxx/envPaths file when

built on the Borland target (the borland stuff is more picky when it

comes to paths), so I'm looking at installing a similar path mangling

function into convertRelease.pl which we'll test tomorrow.

To quote a comment in makeBaseApp.pl: Bl**dy Windows stupidity...
