The lack of fork just makes it slightly more challenging (DJGPP also has no
fork(), but has a fully functional bash). But I see your point.
I suppose libtool could include such a transformation (it's easy enough:
something like "sed s,/cygdrive/\(.\)/,\1:/,g" should do). So please either
submit a patch, or point out the specific places where such a change would
be required. I'm surprised this doesn't cause problems for configure
scripts as well.
