<b>Rio is pre-alpha software. 
The documented interface and behavior is subject to change without notice.</b>

Currently support for MSWin paths involves simply ignoring the drive portion (C: etc)
of paths returned by by the underlying ruby libraries (that's right, it just
lopps that sob right off) While this is clearly unacceptable behavior, it is unclear
to the author whether support for paths that can not be represented per RFC1738 is
a feature of interest to anyone.

There is a relatively small amount of code that would have to change to add this
support in the future, and such support may be included in a future release.

For the time being, the subset of tests in 'test/mswin32.rb' do pass when running 
under the mswin32 port of ruby. By far the majority of the tests that are excluded
are excluded because they use symlinks, not because of the differences in path
representations.
