Subject: cygpath -m behaviour change
From: David Griffiths <david DOT griffiths AT gmail DOT com>

I reinstalled cygwin after a disk failure recently and one of my
scripts stopped working. The problem can be easily reproduced by
entering:

    $ cygpath -m boo/..
    cygpath: error converting "boo/.." - No such file or directory

this is with version 1.7.24(0.269/5/3). On another machine with 1.7.17
installed, the same command results in "./".

I can workaround by using backslashes instead of forward slashes but
other people might find their scripts broken as well.

Cheers,

Dave
