Re: nul

nor from cygwin shell. Not a big problem, but annoying. Any ideas on how to
get rid of it?

Assuming you created
C:\some\path\nul
using
del \\.\C:\some\path\nul
in the Windows console might help you to get rid of it.

I think even that will fail.
The trick I ususally use is to rename it in the console, as CMD's "ren" seems to be more "ignorant" about nul than both mv, rm, del and even 4NT's "ren":

[in CMD:]
ren \\.\C:\full\path\nul __crap
del __crap
