POSIX specifies that "//" is handled in an implementation defined
manner, so Cygwin and Windows are not really special.
See POSIX section 4.13 Pathname Resolution:
A pathname consisting of a single <slash> shall resolve to the root
directory of the process. A null pathname shall not be successfully
resolved. If a pathname begins with two successive <slash> characters,
the first component following the leading <slash> characters may be
interpreted in an implementation-defined manner, although more than two
leading <slash> characters shall be treated as a single <slash>
character.
