Ah, okay.  That's easy, then.  Here:

        Support MS-Windows "x:/foo\bar" file names in canonicalize_file_name.
        * canonicalize-lgpl.c: Include dosname.h.
        (__realpath): Use FILE_SYSTEM_PREFIX_LEN instead of assuming that
        the first slash is at the beginning of the file name.  Use
        ISSLASH, instead of a literal '/'.  Use IS_ABSOLUTE_FILE_NAME
        instead of comparing the first character with '/'.  Test for
        DOUBLE_SLASH_IS_DISTINCT_ROOT only if the file name does not begin
        with a drive letter.

        * canonicalize.c: Include dosname.h.
        (SLASHES): New macro.
        (canonicalize_filename_mode): Use FILE_SYSTEM_PREFIX_LEN instead
        of assuming that the first slash is at the beginning of the file
        name.  Use ISSLASH, instead of a literal '/'.  Use
        IS_ABSOLUTE_FILE_NAME instead of comparing the first character
        with '/'.  Test for DOUBLE_SLASH_IS_DISTINCT_ROOT only if the file
        name does not begin with a drive letter.  Use SLASHES instead of a
        literal string "/".
