Why have a real /dev directory? I like having a dynamically populated 
/dev/-directory. I like Linux's devfs very much, and perhaps udev will 
be very much like it, but i don't guess that cygwin will have something 
like udev (an example where devices would be added/removed from /dev is, 
wehn a new CD-ROM is attached/removed etc.)
