I'm confused. What does this suggestion have to do with the question of
whether or not to remove the deprecated //<drive letter> notation? We already
have the supported alternative of /cygdrive/<drive letter>. What's this
/dev/cygdrive/<drive-letter> notation going to do for us that the current
notation doesn't and how does this all tie in to the question at hand?
