    files like 

    ../../C:/hello.cc are recognized as valid filenames by cvs version.  Is it
    valid?

That is a valid file name on GNU or Unix.  Perhaps on MS Windows it is
not.  However, if compile.el recognizes impossible file names if they
appear in an error message, that is not necessarily a problem.  It
only becomes a problem if this leads to incorrect parsing of error
messages that really occur.
