The following succeed (windows 2000):
dir c:\cygwin\bin\ls.exe
dir c:\cygwin\bin.\ls.exe
dir c:\cygwin\bin..\ls.exe
dir c:\cygwin\bin\ls.exe.
dir c:\cygwin\bin\ls.exe..
dir c:\cygwin\bin\ls.exe...
dir c:\cygwin\bin\ls.exe....
dir c:\cygwin.\bin\ls.exe
dir c:\cygwin.\bin.\ls.exe
dir c:\cygwin.\bin..\ls.exe
dir c:\cygwin.\bin.\ls.exe....
The following fail:
dir c:\cygwin..\bin\ls.exe
dir c:\cygwin.\bin...\ls.exe
Strangely inconsistent about the number of dots based on
position in a path.
