	They show up the same way with smbclient: looks like
	a server-side decision to make unix file a legal
	windows filename, not including a reference to a
	dos-style device...

	I don't know if removing the translation would be
	helpfull: windows programs can and may go nuts on,
	for example, /devices/pci at 1f,4000:devctl
