OK, so MSYS tools support non-Posix file names but they don't support
C:foo. I suppose the porters didn't care, or didn't consider it
important enough. I tend to agree with them ;)

tools even if they would seem "broken" for some people.

It would be foolish not to agree that most programs, and certainly all
Microsoft-supplied ones, do support it. (Hmm, that's a "yes", of
course.)
