Why hasn't this patch been applied?
Why hasn't the patch from this message:
http://list-archive.xemacs.org/xemacs-nt/200008/msg00004.html been applied
yet? It fixes the problem with using gnuclient under cygwin from the windows
explorer. Specifically, it fixes the path problems. IE before the patch, I
would see it looking for a file name of: //E\htdocs\file3.php which doesn't
exist as a path name. However, with this patch, it translates it to
/htdocs/file3.php which is correct! Here's the patch again (please note, this
is NOT my patch! It's Jon Schewe's patch.):
