Earnie, it sure seems like this rc is broken.

I am trying to use what was working before, an invocation of my GVIM editor 
(GVIM=VIM for Win32 Gui):

My shell function includes 
  local WAWA=$(pwd -W)
  $GVIMexe $GVIMopt --remote-send "<Esc>:echo $WAWA
" ;

and what gets sent to the application is a command to cd to:

  \MSYS\1.0\MSYS\1.0\home\sorenboss

;-(. I wish that my slashes, carefully asked for by using `pwd -W`, would 
not be messed with; and I wish that the leading directories not be doubled.

If I check the content of $WAWA before sending the command, it contains 
correct data (i.e. `/bin/echo $WAWA` gives "D:/msys/1.0/etc/.profile").

  Best,
   Soren A
