As we've stated before DON'T USE //d/ to refer to disk drives, it is
deprecated and will be going away. You should be able to use
/cygdrive/d/cygwin or d:/cygwin or if you modify the cygdrive-prefix to
/ you can also use /d/cygwin.
A word of caution about the use of d:/cygwin: The default processing
mode is text. I.E. Line endings are \r\n not \n regardless of all other
mount settings.
