I have been using Cygwin for quite sometime, and am just now getting my feet
wet with Msys. I noticed that a cygwin binary (well at least ls.exe), run under
Msys retains the filesystem structure of the Msys environment. However the inverse,
a Msys binary under cygwin does not retain the cygwin filesystem, but uses the
Msys one.

It would be much appreciated if someone could explain first, how it is possible
for a cygwin binary to see the Msys filesystem, and then, why the scenario is
only one way?
