The `cygpath' utility returns results quite different from ones
in the previous way. Please see the following example.
The previous way
$ pwd
/
$ cygpath -w usr/
usr\
$
The current way
$ pwd
/
$ cygpath -w usr/
C:\cygwin\usr
The current way translates into the full path, and eliminates
the trailing slash.
I guess it is difficult to preserve the previous behavior in the
current way. But some of my scripts depend the behavior. I would
be grateful if you would correct it.
