The Cygnus ports don't do anything to make the life of a Windows
programmer easier wrt the Unix-style paths. The installation
instructions explicitly tell to make sure /bin and /tmp exist on every
drive on your system (it remains unclear how would you pull such
tricks on networked drives ;-), and that sh.exe is copied to every
such /bin directory.
