This is my guess.  If it is cross-compiled from Linux the drive
specifier will disappear.  I suppose the rule-of-thumb for an MSYS
driven build is to always use C: as the work device to help avoid the
probability but there would still be some faction of the user base
that may experience the issue.

BTW: I am overly taxed on time at the moment and thus have been absent
from conversation and code input/output.  I don't expect that to
change before the 2nd or 3rd quarter of 2014.
