Hi,
I know that it is kind of late :-), but I would like to suggest an
alternative/additional mapping of drive letters to the MinGW and Cygwin
file-system name space.
The proposed mapping for directory `C:\' is `//./C$/' (or perhaps
`//./C/').
The reasons for this mapping are:

So... why exactly do you need this? The only thing I might actually
support here (keeping in mind Eric's comments and CGF's clear agreement
with them) would be treating '//./' as a special case of '//127.0.0.1/',
at which point '//./C$/' is the UNC mapping of the default 'C$' share on
the local machine. But I still fail to see why that is useful.
Or you could change your mount prefix to '/dev/fs', and have
'/dev/fs/c', etc, which seems more "natural" and is also what Interix
uses (so you have compatibility in case you ever use that POS).
