Thanks Andy.

But I'm a bit confused here. Quoted from the FAQ:

"There is some ambiguity in going from a Windows path to the posix path,
because different posix paths, through different mount points, could map to
the same Windows directory"

It doesn't answer my question. The ambiguity lie in choosing a Posix
mounting point(e.g. /cygdrive/d vs. //d). But the fact is, "d:" is already a
Win32 mounting point(under Win2k, try "mountvol")! If bash acknowledge this,
there will be no ambiguity in searching for sub paths. After all, bash is
just doing file completion for convenience purpose. I don't see how
textmode/binmode get in the way.
