I'm sure that everyone in perl5-porters is sick of this discussion
(although I think I remember similar discussions from the days when I
was an occasional contributor) and so I apologize.
Let me make some points and then I'll shut up:
1) I'm the person who currently sets the direction of the cygwin
project. I'm also the primary technical contributor to cygwin
and I have been for several years. FWIW, I'm also sort of running
sources.redhat.com these days.
2) I was wrong in some of my assertions of how cygwin handles paths.
I won't go into details. I should have checked more thoroughly and
I apologize for contributing to confusion. The next version of cygwin
will match the table that I had sent in my previous email.
3) To mount a remote share, you do this:
mount //remote/share/bob /whatever/bob
To mount a local directory you do this:
mount c:/hello/bob /hi/bob
The second argument to mount can't start with two slashes.
It doesn't have backslashes or colons.
That's it for me.
