The following PATH sequence: 

		;W:.;Z:.;Y:.;X:.; 

which is typical for drives mapped by the Netware client, gets 
converted into the following cygwin PATH sequence: 

		://W.://Z.://Y.://X.: 

This is a bug and doesn't work. 

I don't know if this is a general problem with converting relative path 
entries. 

Anyway, the result is long pauses during every PATH search, 
presumably while the machine is looking for network hosts named 
"W." and so on.
