Comment:
Some people thought it was a good idea. There was discussion of how to
deal with drives, in particular support for /cygdrive/c/ etc. Simon Marlow
suggested that perhaps System.FilePath.POSIX might be more appropriate in
most cases. Neil realised that while originally his FilePath.Cygwin module
had done before than POSIX, increasingly it was becoming more like POSIX.
Concensus was to reject this proposal, but if anyone comes up with a
particular application thatn requires a distinction between Cygwin and
POSIX style filepaths, then perhaps it could be reopenned.
