I suppose it is possible that we'd consider a nicely written, minimally intrusive patch to use these but I'm not 100% certain that it is even possible to do this cleanly given the way the environment variable/path conversion handling works.
Lets look back to original subject. Function cygwin_conv_to_posix_path() should not leave passed win32 path almost unconverted:
c:.\ -> c:./ c:. -> c:. That is clearly incorrect. I found the present meaning of "C:" defined as "C:\" at the beginning of path.cc file. So both paths should be converted to /cygdrive/c. But I see it much better to convert it according to the contents "!C:" environment variable. Even in the present time when these variables are without changing inherited between cygwin programs.
