What about writing Unix paths like an URL ? So you would have unix://path/to/file
Why not write Unix paths as 'z:/path/to/file'. It's just one letter instead of four so it would be even easier. Implementation's trivial too, we would create a symbolic link to '/' called 'z:' in dosdevices...
People wanting access to unix paths in Wine want a "normal" unix path, ie /path/to/file instead of z:/path/to/file (or z:\path\to\file). The z: part is not unix, and that breaks the integration (use of a drive letter while on unix).
The other thing is if/when z: doesn't map to / anymore... how do you add it back from within winecfg?
Hmm, I feel like I've seen that before. Where???
No idea. Maybe you should submit a patch to Wine :)
