Probably shouldn't be done - in cygwin the usual practice is to symlink
/etc/hosts to the appropriate location - so that unix progras run
seamlessly. It's only win32 native ports that will then need to know about
the win32 locations, and I don't think a truely native 9x port is _ever_ on
the cards :}.
