To the contrary. The problem is the ambiguity that "X:/foo" might be either the absolute POSIX path $CWD/X:/foo, or the absolute DOS path "X:\foo". I have a patch which fixes your case, but not much else. The problem is that we historically allow DOS paths as input at all. That was a bad decision from the start, but you can't easily change 25 years of history...
To contribute my 2 cents, native support for DOS paths is invaluable for me. Changeing that would break a lot of Windows/POSIX integration.
The simple fix for all weird/ambiguous names is to qualify it with `./...`.
