The cygdrive prefix can be configured by the user to something arbitrarily different, so if you're hoping to simplify the string handling this way you'll most likely be disappointed. It is exactly that fact that led to the introduction of /proc/cygdrive as an alternative prefix which doesn't depend on any configuration.
