For example, I have a path2win Perl script that converts a Gnu-Win32 path into a true Win32 path (e.g. / into c:\, //d into d:\) so that I can use normal bash filename completion to generate a filename for use with VIM, which does not understand the /c or //c notation. Quite easy to write but it would save time for people who are getting into this. I'm sure other people have done similar things. Is anyone interested in sharing such hacks, and if so, is it OK to post the shorter ones to the list or upload them to some ftp location?
