I'm confused.  What does this suggestion have to do with the question of 
whether or not to remove the deprecated //<drive letter> notation?  We already 
have the supported alternative of /cygdrive/<drive letter>.  What's this 
/dev/cygdrive/<drive-letter> notation going to do for us that the current
notation doesn't and how does this all tie in to the question at hand?
