Ok. That's a bash problem.  It doesn't recognize c: as a drive but as
the beginning of a relative path.

This is weird since bash has special handling for drive letters under
Cygwin in lib/sh/pathcanon.c, function sh_canonpath().  For some reason
it just doesn't work...

Chet?  Do you have an idea how to solve that?
