Our current plan is to re-enable this syntax for a while, to allow
people to migrate to the new syntax, which will be:

	/cygdrive/<drive>/...

The "cygdrive" part is customizable via the mount command, so you could
change it to:

	/dos/<drive>/...

example:

	/dos/c/...

Because the "cygdrive" part may be different on different systems,
it's best not to hard-code it in your programs.
