Re: paths like //usr/local

To quote from the Single Unix Specification v3:

"A pathname consisting of a single slash shall resolve to the root
directory of the process.  A null pathname shall not be successfully
resolved.  A pathname that begins with two successive slashes may be
interpreted in an implementation-defined manner, although more than two
leading slashes shall be treated as a single slash."
damn - who wrote that spec?

i might think of autoconf's configure-script when using things like --with-package=/ which might lead ./configure to look for //include/test.h

but than it's configure's fault, not cygwin's
(i know that i could say --with-package=/. :-) )
