Did this patch (to fileio.c) get sent to xemacs-patches? It really
should.

The behavior of //d was counter-intuitive to me. It behaves like d:
rather than d:\, so the following happens:

cd /mnt/d		# we are on d:\
cd //d		# still on d:\
cd /mnt/d/foo/bar	# we are on d:\foo\bar
cd //d		# still on d:\foo\bar

This is what prompted me to never ever use it, and symlink everything
into one file system.
