This does not help with applications using drive letters like *they* want.

and similar.

Be weary of doing this without some investigation. We found that if you do this, then the path D:\work\... is distinctly different from d:\work\...

whereas if the drive letter is in the root specification, than that portion of the physical path is case independant. I am not sure whether to consider this a bug, but some file dialog usage in the Kawa, Java IDE, causes different drive letters to appear in file names. Thus, the command facilities of Kawa build command lines that don't work for some files.
