Cygwin snapshot and 'last-cache' file

[Angelo Graziosi <Angelo dot Graziosi at roma1 dot infn dot it>]

The file /etc/setup/last-cache contains path in DOS-like style:

   C:\cygwin\home\Angelo\Downloads\cygwin

When a script tries to retrive this information from 'last-cache' under
the snapshot (for 1.7.0 release) there is the warning:

  cygwin warning:
  MS-DOS style path detected: C:/cygwin/home/Angelo/Downloads/cygwin
  Preferred POSIX equivalent is: /home/Angelo/Downloads/cygwin
  CYGWIN environment variable option "nodosfilewarning" turns off this
  warning.
  Consult the user's guide for more details about POSIX paths:
    http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using.html#using-pathnames


... and I remember some discussion (MAKE-3.81 etc.) in which you were
reluctanct in accepting the DOS-like paths.



  Angelo.
