Dear Kaz,

> You might be interested in the Cygnal project:

from your description I would think this doesn't work for Emacs. Emacs has its own functions for path management, e.g. to decide what an absolute path is. These need to be adjusted inside of Emacs. OS support for the paths is not sufficient.

Best regards,

Michael
