Hmm, I think ENOTDIR is better here, plus a more descriptive status
message:

    [/proc]# cmd
    Error: Current working directory is a virtual Cygwin directory which does
    not exist for a native Windows application.
    Can't start native Windows application from here.

    /cygdrive/c/Windows/system32/cmd: Not a directory.
