Did this problem get fixed?  

I'm about to bundle up a weekly snapshot for use by my
customers, and I don't know if I need to include my patch. I
suspect that the problem addressed by my original patch to
Tcl_TranslateFileName has been fixed elsewhere, -- can anybody
confirm this?  I don't currently have a Cygwin system to try it
on.

The patch added a call to cygwin_conv_to_win32_path() at the
beginning of Tcl_TranslateFileName().

I don't see anything in the libgui changelog, but I don't
really know what I'm lookig for...

Thanks,
