This is probably worth fixing in upstream autoconf (although it won't
benefit you on cygwin until autoconf 2.70 is released and used by
packages), to have autoconf's code that generates a PATH lookup to
special case $as_dir of / to avoid creating //.  Patches welcome to
autoconf, if I don't get it done first.
