Well, for some values of 'foo'. MSYS has a complex heuristics that
does this conversion only when 'foo' is believed to be a file name.
So, a literal ":foo" prints as ":foo", but, e.g., ":../foo" prints as
";..\foo" (yes, with mirrored slash), and ":/foo" prints as (gasp!)
";D:\MSYS\foo" (assuming that MSYS is installed at D:\MSYS).
This heuristics does TRT 99% of the time, but sometimes it fails, and
then we need to help it with the likes of unmsys-file-name etc.
