The Novel client is not a Cygwin application, right? How does it help a native Windows application if the path is converted to a Cygwin-specific POSIX path? I don't get this. Another point is this: Converting C:. to C:. keeps the path correct, Converting C:. to /cygdrive/c/. creates a wrong path. Even if it helps your Novell client (no idea how that's possible, but still...) then it still might break other applications.
