Neither Cygwin nor Windows really care for that when using paths.
Either you use a drive letter or you use an UNC path, and either it
exists or not.  Everything else is done in the mount manager or kernel.

If you want to look for drive letter to UNC path conversion, you can
utilise QueryDosDevice.
