bug in cygwin_conv_to_posix_path() caused by period in win32 path

[Pavel Kudrna]

Hi,
the legal win32 paths containing period like "c:.\" or "c:." are 
incorrectly converted by
cygwin_conv_to_posix_path() to "c:./" and "c:." respectively. See last 
two output
lines of the attached example program.

#include <stdio.h>
#include <windows.h>
int main()
{
 int i;
 char posix_buffer[MAX_PATH];
 char *win32_path[]={ "c:\\",
                      "c:",
                      "c:\\.\\",
                      "c:\\.",
                      "c:.\\",
                      "c:.",
                      NULL
                    };
 for(i=0;win32_path[i];i++)
 {
  cygwin_conv_to_posix_path(win32_path[i], posix_buffer);
  printf( "%s\t" "%s\n", win32_path[i], posix_buffer );
 }
 return 0;
}
