The cygdrive prefix can be configured by the user to something
arbitrarily different, so if you're hoping to simplify the string
handling this way you'll most likely be disappointed.  It is exactly
that fact that led to the introduction of /proc/cygdrive as an
alternative prefix which doesn't depend on any configuration.
