And how much sense does it make?

The root value is most of the time ok, unless a process runs under
chroot.

The cwd value on the other hand...  /proc is a virtual, Cygwin-only
directory and isn't a valid CWD for a non-Cygwin process.
And you can't call the OS for the CWD of another process.  On Windows,
the CWD is a process-local concept, not supported by the kernel.
Fetching the CWD of a process requires read access to the VM of a
process and a bit of undocumented NT magic.
