Subject: 1.1.8: bug in \\ handling in absolute fns

I have found that when I do:

mkdir /x
touch /x/y		# ok
touch /x\\z		# fails
touch d:/cygwin/x\\z	# ok
cd /x
touch z			# ok
touch ./z		# ok
touch .\\z		# ok

I get the results as mentioned.  This causes a newer gcc to fail to
work, as libiberty uses \ to separate names in my toolchain, and TEMP
is set by cygwin to /cygdrive/c/TEMP.  And this combination doesn't
work, as mentioned above.  This worked in B19.  While libiberty could
be made to not do this, or to canonicalize the pathnames, I feel that
this is the wrong approach.
