OK, but mightn't it be considered a bug that Cygwin is being inconsistent in
its treatment of non-POSIX paths?  The CWD is stored as C:.  bash then
presents it (and apparently sees it) as /cygdrive/c.  ls OTOH apparently
sees it as C:, which it can't properly interpret.  I'm not sure who's at
fault (Cygwin DLL, bash, or ls), but something is getting garbled in
translation.
