According to Rob Walker on 7/17/2008 2:27 PM:
| Questions I have in particular:
| 1. what are your thoughts on POSIX support for colons in paths?
POSIX requires support for colons, but not as drive letters. Use managed
mounts in 1.5.x, or wait for 1.7.0.
| 2. what are your thoughts on Cygwin's existing support for DOS paths?
If they work, it's a lucky accident. I neither go out of my way to make
them work, nor worry about breaking it. Use /cygdrive style paths instead.
