Re: canonicalize_file_name does not support MS-Windows style file names

[Mark H Weaver]

Hi,

Guile needs Eli's patch in order build under mingw + msys, which is
important for several cross-platform programs that depend on libguile.
We hope to release Guile 2.0.7 in the week of Nov 26, so it would be
great if this patch could be integrated soon.

Eli, I see that Bruno asked for a set of Windows-syntax filenames to
extend the unit test.  Would you be willing to work on that?
