I can confirm that version 1.11 will have a getcwd() that includes the
drive letter and colon as the first two fields.  Since dropping the
first two charaters is easy enough, there will probably be no version
that returns what getcwd() currently returns.

If any program needs the unix-style one, then (1) it is broken, and
(2) they can #define getcwd to their own function that calls getcwd()
and increments the pointer by two characters.
