Re: XEmacs, clearcase mode problem

This really ought to be done in the core. I believe that much of
this is already done internally in XEmacs although new bugs keep
cropping up. But I don't know how much of what (eg) clearcase and
JDE need is already implemented internally.
Shouldn't it be done in expand-file-name (et.al.)? With respect to
clearcase, it appears that there are three types of conversions on
Windows systems that need to be handled (maybe more?):
1. Normal Windows pathname conversions.
2. Special Cygwin pathname conversions.
3. ClearCase pathname conversions (dynamic and static?).
Number 3 should probably stay in the clearcase package as that's it's
purpose. Can you test for Cygwin properly at the core level?
