I don't.  Paths are only absolute if they begin with a slash -- there's
too much code that depends on this, and there's no need to make an
exception when the path can be represented as /cygdrive/u instead of u:
(as I mentioned in the first reply).  If someone releasing a cygwin
version wants to extend the P_PATH handling in loadparam.c to translate
a drive prefix into an absolute path, that would be easy enough to do.
But no normal file/dir-handling code should have anything to do with
drive letters.
