Since I obviously like the idea, I'll just comment on the implementation. 
I used the sample program below to test to modified putpath.c and 
haven't find a problem with the enhancement so far.

One question unrelated to your changes: Shouldn't \dev\null be 
equivalent to /dev/null? With the sample program below '/dev/null' 
returns 'c:/djgpp/projects/putpath/nul' and '\dev\null' returns 'c:/dev/null'. 
'c:/djgpp/projects/putpath' is the working directory.

#include <dos.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
  char cooked_name[FILENAME_MAX];
  int i = 1;

  if (argc < 2)
    return 0;

  while (i < argc)
  {
    _fixpath (argv[i], cooked_name);
    printf("arg: %s\n", cooked_name);
    ++i;
  }

  return 0;
}
