Or, more accurately, a limitation of the coreutils .exe magic getting
thrown off by the switch to the new cygwin_conv_path. I'm not very
concerned about trying to go out of my way to provide bloat in coreutils
just to make .exe magic on DOS paths behave nicely, when a unix-style path
works just fine. But I'll look into it; I was in the middle of preparing
coreutils 7.0-1, so if I can find a simple fix, I might be able to tweak
this to work nicer.
