Description

The Cassandra script fails due to missing cygpath path conversion in a MINGW32 environment, such as when running from git bash (installed by default when installing Git for Windows).

The fix is to modify the line

CYGWIN*)

to

CYGWIN*|MINGW*)

in the cassandra script, in the case statement that checks for a cygwin environment.
