If I have well understood '/proc' is a virtual directory like 
'/cygdrive', but for it

$ ls -lrt /
dr-xr-xr-x   1 Administrator  Administrators  0 Dec  1  2006 proc
                ^^^^^^^^^^^^   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^    ^^^^^^^^^^^^

So, why not similar things for cygdrive? This was only my curiosity.

Regarding the 'horrible', that date (01.01.1970) remembered me some 
negative experiences on old DOS.


Cheers,
    Angelo.
