no sir, i disagree with you.
1. windows NT does support double slashes, altough it thinks, that an
expression starting with // is an UNC path
2. because we're talking about cygwin, cygwin has to take care about
converting UNIX-style paths to windows paths
//usr/local should be converted to c:\cygwin\usr\local
which might not happen correctly.
what "windows stupidity" concerns: this statement turned against you.
i would recomm, mailing to one of the cygwin-lists.
