how to use this plugin in Windows with cwRsync

[zhoujiealex]

I try to play vagrant in windows 10 and I vagrant up a centos6.6

I saw the plugin said：
_## 0.9.0 (June 28, 2015)
This release adds two big features: Windows support and automatic sync on startup._

Short version:
But how to use this plugin in windows?

1. is cwRsync supported by this plugin
2. If yes, would you please enhance this plugin?
   • _transform windows path into valid cygwin format before calling rsync in windows_

sorry for a long story...

First I add a related path synced folder like this:

   config.vm.synced_folder '../tmcas/storedirect', '/opt/o365/storedirect', type: 'rsync'

I run "vagrant up", then it said could't find rsync command, of course there's no this command under windows.
So I install cwRsync (https://www.itefix.net/content/cwrsync-free-edition)

I run again, this time it complains path is wrong:

   Host path: /e/Study/vagrant/docker-test/tmcas/storedirect/

As you can see, cwRsync based cygwin, and the default windows path format e:\Study\xxx is invalid.
So change the format - a full cygwin path format:

   config.vm.synced_folder '/cygwin/e/Study/...../tmcas/storedirect', '/opt/o365/storedirect', type: 'rsync'

This time, it complains: "host share folder is missing", yes it's not a valid windows format path:

e:\Study\vagrant\docker-test>vagrant up

I'm not sure if this helps. I use Vagrant on Windows 7 with the default cmd, no cygwin environment. The PATH variable contains C:\cwRsync_5.5.0_x86_Free\bin. With the following changes applied it works for me. kasimi/vagrant@22495f5
