I agree. For me, the real test is this:
me@work ~
$ cd /cygdrive
me@work /cygdrive
$ ls
c d
So `/cygdrive` *is* a valid directory in Cygwin.

We already have such a thing, but it is not just `win.h`, it is
`compat/win32/`. I would think that the best idea would be to move the
MINGW variants to `compat/win32/path-utils.c` and declare them in
`compat/win32/path-utils.h`, renaming them from `mingw_*()` to
`win32_*()`.
Ciao,
