See end of issue 78061.
Comment 1 quetschke 2007-07-05 22:57:36 UTC 
Actually this is not really a dmake problem but a bug in cygwin's
cygwin_conv_to_posix_path(). This function is used by _normalize_path() if a
leading drive letter is found.

The problem can also be reproduced by (avoiding the extra quoting that \s would
need):

$ cygpath c:/ff/.///pp
/cygdrive/c/ff//pp

@ause: Do we care?

hmm, not too much...
i would suggest to keep this issue as a reminder. maybe it fixes itself with new
cygwin versions :)
Comment 3 quetschke 2007-07-06 15:18:30 UTC 
OK, lets keep this as REMIND.
