This is specific to Win7 (1.7 on XP works as expected).

But for some reason Cygwin on Win7 isn't remembering the cygdrive prefix.
It starts out as cygdrive again with each invocation.

Anyone seen this behavior?

Win7 feels like a cross between typing on a dvorac keyboard and
in a foreign land, and not speaking the language. with the only maps 
available being written by tourists that are just as bewildered.

Though at times I feel like Tron dealing with a MCP that's gotten too
controlling for comfort...
