I believe you are wrong in assuming that Cygwin users are not familiar
with this mode of operation.  This whole thread is a result of
_dropping_ support for drive letters from the Cygwin version of Make
3.81, which caused complaints on the Cygwin list.  So, up and
including v3.80, Cygwin users were using such a support as part of
Make, even though HAVE_DOS_PATHS was not compiled (instead, a
Cygwin-specific patch was maintained to provide that support).

Chris, am I missing something?
