class CYGWIN_DIRECTORY_NOTATION
Summary
top
The Cygwin like file path notation looks like: 
  //C/LibertyEiffel/sys/system.se
|*** I've never seen this notation. My cygwin uses plain old unix
|*** notation, windows drives are mapped to /cygdrive/c/ etc...
|*** <FM-23/03/2003>
|*** AFAIR that's the old b20 series <CAD 2005.11.18>
