That's not really what I'm referring to. This is quite a few years ago,
and the problem is that we don't use Cygwin's cygwin_conv_to* API to
do the right thing. It may be Tcl_TranslateFileName where it needs to
be done, on top of the current Cygwin code bits there, but that's what
I need to investigate.
