Subject: bug w/ 'tar' implementation

Hello ->

I'm encountering a bug w/ the current 'tar' command implementation in
it's parsing of Win-style paths (like other CYGWIN commands to).

Recreating this error is easy:

(assuming CYGWIN is installed in D:/cygwin and username is 'user' )

----------------
prompt> tar cf D:/cygwin/home/user/foo.tar *
tar: D\:/cygwin/home/user/foo.tar: Cannot open: I/O error
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
-----------------

If anyone has any insight to this, please CC me on mail -- I'm not on
the 'cygwin' list.  I'm not a C programmer and probably wouldn't be
of much help in fixing this....

thanks,
tod
