[1.7.2] change in cygpath -w behaviour?


It seems there's been a change in 'cygpath -w' behaviour. Is this intentional?

On 1.7.1 (with C:\ as Cygwin root):
$ cygpath -w /tmp
C:\tmp

On 1.7.2s(0.222/5/3) 20100219 12:56:31:
$ cygpath -w /tmp
\\?\C:\tmp

The latter breaks scripts that aren't sufficiently careful about
backslash quoting, because "\\?\C:\tmp" loses a vital backslash during
quote removal.
