Note that the path mangling comes from MSYS [1], not MinGW, so you
should place "MINGW" with "MSYS" in several places. As a side-note, the
official spelling is "MinGW", not "MINGW".

Wouldn't it have been more straight-forward to just replace "a" with
"foo", "b" with "bar" and "c" with "baz" (or whatever)? So that the
first line would say
relative_path /foo/bar/baz/ /foo/bar/ baz/
Thanks for the fix!
