Cygwin snapshot and 'last-cache' file

- Subject: Cygwin snapshot and 'last-cache' file
The file /etc/setup/last-cache contains path in DOS-like style:
C:\cygwin\home\Angelo\Downloads\cygwin
When a script tries to retrive this information from 'last-cache' under
the snapshot (for 1.7.0 release) there is the warning:
cygwin warning:
MS-DOS style path detected: C:/cygwin/home/Angelo/Downloads/cygwin
Preferred POSIX equivalent is: /home/Angelo/Downloads/cygwin
CYGWIN environment variable option "nodosfilewarning" turns off this
warning.
Consult the user's guide for more details about POSIX paths:
http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using.html#using-pathnames
... and I remember some discussion (MAKE-3.81 etc.) in which you were
reluctanct in accepting the DOS-like paths.
Angelo.
