It seems that most of the win32 stuff under bash accepts //x/ as
a drive specification, except gcc include paths.

bash$ ls F:/abc/def.h
F:/abc/def.h
bash$ ls //f/abc/def.h
//f/abc/def.h

bash$ cat test.c
#include <def.h>
main(){}

bash$ gcc -IF:/abc test.c
bash$ gcc -I//f/abc test.c
test.c:1: def.h: No such file or directory

Why do I care?  I am using some build tools that do not like ':''s
in the include path.

Bruce
