Hi,
when dos(win32) path contains period, e.g. "c:." bash instead of 
converting to "/cygdrive/c" incorrectly copies
this string into PATH variable including colon!
(Such dos path containing period is legal and is used in Novell Client 
as search drives.)

C:\temp> path c:\temp;c:.;s:\public

C:\temp> path
PATH=c:\temp;c:.;s:\public

C:\temp> "C:\Program Files\cygwin\bin\bash.exe" --login -i
