Not yet. Eventually.

Because cygwin now has the ability to create files called "com1",
just like UNIX. The string "com1" does get passed on to the OS
but, as a guess, it looks like cygwin isn't doing anything special
with the name and doesn't recognize it as anything more than a file.

This change should work fine with older versions. I don't think I
have the authority to approve it, though.
