Request for enhancement:
Some Windows admin tools, and filesystem software like WinBTRFS or
OpenZFS4Windows take NT object paths.

Since conversion from a POSIX/Cygwin path can be a bit tricky to catch
all possible variants (disk, filesystem, driver letter, UNC path...)
it would be good to just have a /bin/cygpath.exe -N option to print an
NT path.

What do you think?
