This will be fixed differently in the ssh-host-config script in the
upcoming OpenSSH 5.5p1.  Instead of using cygpath to get the exact
correct case for the drivers/etc dir, it uses relaxed mount options.
The patch is already upstream for a couple of days.  Since 5.5p1
is due really soon now, I was too lazy to release an interim 5.4p1-2.
