Spurious warnings about MS-DOS paths

[Ryan Johnson]

Hi all,

A recent cygwin update has started spewing warnings such as the 
following when I do tab completion on a path containing spaces:
> $ cd ~/Home/Documents/Pcygwin warning:
>   MS-DOS style path detected: ~/Home/Documents/PC\ reviews\ 2011
>   Preferred POSIX equivalent is: ~/Home/Documents/PC/ reviews/ 2011
>   CYGWIN environment variable option "nodosfilewarning" turns off this 
> warning.
>   Consult the user's guide for more details about POSIX paths:
>     http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using.html#using-pathnames

Would it be possible to make the check exclude common character escapes?

Regards,
Ryan
