I just tried out the latest snapshot and my bat file to clean up my
mounts now gives warning messages. The current released version of
cygwin1.dll does not produce the warnings.
Z:\>C:\Cygwin\bin\mount -f -s -b C:/Cygwin /
cygwin warning:
MS-DOS style path detected: Z:\
Preferred POSIX equivalent is: /z
CYGWIN environment variable option "nodosfilewarning" turns off this
warning.
Consult the user's guide for more details about POSIX paths:

This looks like something is going wrong when running Cygwin programs
('mount', at least) from a DOS prompt. Does this produce any output?
Z:\> C:\Cygwin\bin\env | C:\Cygwin\bin\grep Z:
What happens if you run the file from a different directory? Does the
warning always reflect the current directory?
