If you _only_ allow editors that understands windows style paths, your
patch may make sense, but doesn't it break editors that wants only
POSIX
style paths?
The Cygwin Users' Guide says "Using native Win32 paths in Cygwin, while
possible, is generally inadvisable."

Is this similar to the problem of line ending (POSIX lf vs. Windows
cr-lf)?  Windows Notepad won't correctly display files with lf line
endings, either.
So maybe this should be a configuration option, as with line endings?
