[boost] Re: Shouldn't boost::filesystem be BOOST_POSIX on cygwin?

Thus, on cygwin, boost::filesystem should treat "/usr" as "c:/cygwin/usr" when compiled with BOOST_WINDOWS (and treat "c:/cygwin/usr" as itself).

I hope you're not considering "C:\cygwin" to be the fixed installation point of the Cygwin suite. On my two computers, one sits at "C:\Program Files\cygwin", "D:\Program Files\cygwin" on the other. Also, most Cygwin programs are fairly agnostic about which way the slashes go, so long as the backslashes are escaped properly. -- Steven E. Harris
