So, when I actually look further into this, what I wrote is utter
nonsense. dumper/minidumper includes the following:

> *(argv + optind), NULL, 0);

My eyes moving over this lightly, my brain assumes it just converts from
a Win32 path to a POSIX path, but actually it does:
1) convert from POSIX path to Windows path (assuming it's a no-op if the
path is already in a Windows form
2) (now having a consistent path delimiter) use the part after the last
delimiter (if any), as the basename.
So: no problem here, after all. coredump file is already created in the cwd.
