While it's not hard to delete the rouge "nul" files, it is a recent change 
to cygwin that allows them to be created at all.

1.5.9 seemed to treat "NUL" in the normal windows way (equivalent of 
/dev/null), so didn't create these files.

1.5.10 changed so Cygwin no longer recognizes windows special file names 
like "NUL", and instead treats them like normal files.

Is there a reason for this change?
