Hello! I decided to pay attention to one more problem. Lots of not very well written configure scripts and makefiles like to access things like '//usr/bin'. Under Cygwin this causes problem because Cygwin treats '//' in Windows-style as access to network shares. What if we change this ? We could have a mount entry, something like '/unc' (or /smb, /net, whatever) and access it like '/smb/computername/sharename'. I think this would improve POSIX compatibility a lot.
