Comment:

 MS Windows CE also uses a single root "\", so the drive letters are only
 present
 {{{
 #if (defined(_WIN32) || defined(WIN32)) && !defined(UNDER_CE)}}}
 }}}

 Otherwise I agree that this would be a useful addition. OTOH, translating
 "/C:/" to "C:\" would also be feasible, you could then get the list of
 drives by listing the content of "/". I'd take it to the developers'
 mailinglist for discussion.
