POSIX *allows* '//something' to have a special meaning.  It doesn't
state that it is necessarily the syntax for SMB share paths.

Because a '//' has no special meaning on linux.  Both '//server/share'
and '\\server\share' are valid syntax for Windows.

You can believe this or not but Cygwin's behavior is not going to
change.
