Not d:/ but you could get /d/ if you `mount d:\\ /d'.
BTW, I'm thinking that the cygdrive text is stored in the registry and could be
changed to what you want. I can't verify that at this time but you could look
using RegEdit. The /cygdrive/ was added to change the // due to problems with
Win32 thinking it was referencing a network drive. It could have just as well
have been made an error if the drive isn't mounted rather than defaulting to
anything at all.
