cygpath -w seems to be inconsistent with /dev/* things:

$ uname -svr
CYGWIN_NT-5.1 1.7.14s(0.260/5/3) 20120406 19:41:34
$ cygpath -w /dev/clip
C:\cygwin\dev\clip
$ cygpath -w /dev/random
/dev/random
$

I first thought it was because C:\cygwin\dev\random
does not exist, but then:

$ cygpath -w /dev/xyz
C:\cygwin\dev\xyz
$
