But that is only a mild opposition. I'd > also go along with /cygdrive. I've changed the script (which I didn't write!) to use cygpath --sysdir which outputs cygdrive paths. I should be able to get a new release out by the weekend, but I'll hold off until this discussion is decided. Personally I don't mind either an always existing /cygdrive or something in /proc. Only thing that would ask is; what would cygpath output?
