I'm really not looking for anything besides what cygpath already do. I'm kind
of satisfied with it's functionality, except may be one bit, but it's outside
the scope of current discussion.
Since I were able to successfully build it on my own, I can play with it as
much, as my time permit.
If it would turn up into something more convincing, than two slashes plugged
into a line of code, I'll get back to the list.
