The same applies to old DOS names like AUX, COM1, LPT1 or PRN.

This seems like something that cygwin should support, but they haven't
wanted to
instigate an escaping mechanism for this.  So, maybe this should be a patch that
the cygwin folks apply (perhaps shipped in the "patches" dir) that
would
transform certain names and characters when opening/creating a file, and
untransforming them when reading the names via readdir or parsing the
command-line args.  Someone would need to choose a reasonable escape
char/sequence.  Any suggestions?
