And, here it is for public consumption.

I didn't apply it because I didn't think that it was exactly the right solution.
I thought that maybe cygpath should have a "get_root_dir_now" call in it to
ensure that it would never try to access setup.exe's mount table before it
was initialized.

	* localdir.cc (do_local_dir): Ensure that mount table is initialized prior
	to cygpath call.
