#2164: locate_root wrong under CygWin
--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
 Reporter:  anonymous     |       Owner:  grafik     
     Type:  Bugs          |      Status:  new        
Milestone:  Boost 1.36.0  |   Component:  bjam       
  Version:  Boost 1.35.0  |    Severity:  Showstopper
 Keywords:  cygwin        |  
--------------------------+-------------------------------------------------
 When running the regression tests under cygwin, I get:

 locate_root: c:/tmp/boost_rt/boost/status/cygdrive/C/tmp/boost_rt/results

 (After this it can't find any files.)

 CygWin maps Win32 to unix file names as such:
   cygwin: /cygdrive/C/tmp/boost_rt
   Win32:  C:/tmp/boost_rt

 As you can see from locate_root above, bjam has blended both, yielding an
 invalid directory under either.

 This occurs even when I specify to run.py:
   --bjam-options="--locate-root=/cygdrive/C/tmp/boost_rt/results"

 I get this output (showing --locate-root being properly propagated):

 # Starting tests
