I've previously mentioned that Corinna and others have discussed ways of
implementing /dev.  I'm not going to accept a patch that exposes /dev
without reopening that discussion.

Just a cautionary note.  I was going to assume that since I'd already
mentioend this it would be obvious but, of course, nothing is ever
obvious in the cygwin mailing list.
