It doesn't look like the Windows situation has been addressed in
term.el itself. For example, Emacs runs /bin/sh which won't
necessarily exist in terms of raw DOS pathnames. I see there is a
cygwin32-mount.el Lisp package at
http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/windows/ntemacs.html that aims to
inform Emacs on Windows about Cygwin mounts (that Swarm creates and
uses), but I haven't tried it.

There may be a way to get ansi-term to work on Windows (I haven't
looked around gnu.emacs.help/comp.emacs), but just hacking it to
hardcode the shell isn't enough, apparently. The character echoing
mode isn't right, and stty won't run at least as started by
start-process. I'm sure this is doable, with some work...

The DOS box has ANSI terminal emulation.
A workaround is just to disable the color mode for ls by adding
"unalias ls" to ~/.bash_custom.
