Actually we don't expect this to work. The DOS notion of a drive relative
it works perfectly even if the back slash is in the path.
working directory isn't supported by Cygwin. You should rather use POSIX
paths anyway (cmp /cygdrive/d/Data/file1 /cygdrive/e/file2).
I did not know that this works when I start the program from a DOS box.
