Re: Save typing /cygdrive/c?

Max,

If one took the "change-cygdrive-prefix" approach, could not one 
achieve backward- or "convention-" compatibility with the symlink 
"/cygdrive -> /<changedCygdrivePrefix>"?

Myself, I have a bunch of symlinks for all the Windows drives, 
including my CD drives and diskette.
