Full support for Cygwin-specific file names can only happen on the C
level. E.g., in w32.c:normalize_filename. We should probably have a
similar function in ntlib, because lib-src programs will need to use
it as well (see the example with emacsclient posted here).
Anything else will necessarily be buggy or at least incomplete.
And even on the C level, this should be a user option, because
otherwise users who don't have Cygwin anywhere in sight will be unable
to have a real `x:/cygdrive' directory on each of their logical disks.
