Adding or deleting dots seems to be time-honored version-reporting
tradition in the cygwin lists.  There is also the use
some-random-number-that-I-noticed-on-my-screen method which seems to be
equally popular.

Btw, just to add to the POSIX fun, Corinna is thinking about making the
output of readlink() always report a POSIX path.  Get ready for the
shrieks of indignation now.  You heard it here first.
