That would be one of the changes.

Not d:/ but you could get /d/ if you `mount d:\\ /d'.

BTW, I'm thinking that the cygdrive text is stored in the registry and could be
changed to what you want.  I can't verify that at this time but you could look
using RegEdit.  The /cygdrive/ was added to change the // due to problems with
Win32 thinking it was referencing a network drive.  It could have just as well
have been made an error if the drive isn't mounted rather than defaulting to
anything at all.
