At the risk of being impolite and/or out of topic, I repeat here what I
already posted a while ago.

I have something quite disturbing wrt to paths and case: starting 'emacs
-Q' from the same directory,
I can get 3 different values for default-directory:

1. "D:/Source/emacs/build-master/"
This is with a mingw64 shell, after doing 'cd /d/Source/emacs/build-master'
and running 'emacs -Q'

2. "D:/source/emacs/build-master/"
This is with a mingw64 shell, after doing 'cd /d/source/emacs/build-master'
and running 'emacs -Q'

3. "d:/Source/emacs/build-master/"
This is with a cmd shell, after doing 'd:' and 'cd
d:/Source/emacs/build-master'

I think this should be traced and fixed (but didn't get a chance to do it)
