I've always used Cygwin's fstab /cygdrive default but I'm growing tired
of always typing it out; msys's simple "/a" "/c" "/d" prefix for drive
letters always seemed closer to home while on a Windows machine.
The only problem I've encountered is a borked ls display when an actual
folder "a", "b", etc., appears in the Cygwin root folder and the
inability to enumerate drive with "ls /cygdrive".
Are there any other caveats to consider?
Also, it would be nice if doing a directory list on /cygdrive was a
hard-coded operation, to preserve this functionality.
