Subject: conv_to_win32_path feature change request

When converting to win32 path, I'd like to see a complete win32 pathname
generated (with symbolic links resolved and all) rather than the half
job done right now.

Someone on the gnu-win32 list posted something on using ``cygpath -w'' as
a conversion tool, and this change will make that possible.

Is there a rationale for the current behaviour that I'm not aware of? The 
change is of course just a few keystrokes.

Regards,
Mumit
