André's quoting is unusual, but it's not wrong.

For example:

    $ cat foo
    #!/bin/bash
    for word in "$@"
    do
        echo "$word"
    done

    $ ./foo one two" "three four
    one
    two three
    four

However, I've always seen the C: drive under /cygdrive as
/cygdrive/c, with a lower-case c.

Gary
