I'm very interested in your opinions on colons in paths. I'd prefer to
hear directly what they are, to avoid any misunderstanding that might
arise from me trying to glean them from the archives.
Questions I have in particular:
1. what are your thoughts on POSIX support for colons in paths?
Colons in filenames are fine and will be supported with cygwin-1.7.
But c:/ it will not map to the root of some c drive, it will map to the
subdir "c:"
For now we had to use managed mounts for such names, soon we will be
able to see readable names.
2. what are your thoughts on Cygwin's existing support for DOS paths?
Why should we? For mingw builds use MSYS, for cygwin use cygwin.
Don't mix what does not fit together.
