I get a very different behaviour with `cygpath` after I upgrade my version =
of Cygwin. Why? and how can I fix it?

With Cygwin 2.7:

```
$ uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-6.1-WOW CPT 2.7.0(0.306/5/3) 2017-02-12 13:13 i686 Cygwin
$ cygpath --version
cygpath (cygwin) 2.7.0

$ cd  /
$ touch foo.exe
$ cygpath -m foo
foo.exe

$ cd
$ touch foo.exe
$ cygpath -m foo
foo
```

With Cygwin 2.1:
```
$ uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-6.1-WOW CPT 2.1.0(0.287/5/3) 2015-07-14 21:26 i686 Cygwin
$ cygpath --version
cygpath (cygwin) 2.1.0

$ cd /
$ touch foo.exe
$ cygpath -m foo
foo

$ cd
$ touch foo.exe
$ cygpath -m foo
foo
```
