My open utility plays nice with UNC paths...

I think I wrote open many many years ago (before I even started using
cygwin) and I've just been carrying it around with me. I added cygwin
path support when I started using cygwin.

I've added an alias to alias open to cygstart (I use gnome-open under Ubuntu).

Thanks for the tip.
