These links should all go through /proc/cygdrive, really.  However, the
option to make it so (-U) hasn't been in cygpath for very long, so it's not
used yet in the postinstall.  The next release of base-files will use this
option, so the problems in /etc will be gowing away.  The postinstall script
for fontconfig, xinit and WindowMaker should be treated similarly (there may
be others that I haven't on my system).
