Of course he's sure -- he wrote that code! :-D
Seriously, though, /dev is a *virtual* directory, like /proc or /cygdrive.
If it makes you feel better (and for tab-completion purposes), you could
do "cd / && cmd /c mkdir dev", and then run the "create_devices" scripts
in <http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2003-05/msg00754.html>. That should let
you 'ls /dev' to your heart's content.
