Cygwin //server/path paths do not work

[gisburn]

Cygwin //server/path path support (for example used by SMB or https://github.com/kofemann/ms-nfs41-client) is not compiled in by default when building ksh93 1.0.8.

Attached ( ksh_1_0_8_libast_Cygwin_set_PATH_LEADING_SLASHES_for_UNC_paths.patch.gz ) fixes the issue (same patch as https://github.com/kofemann/ms-nfs41-client/blob/master/cygwin/cygwin_ksh93/ksh_1_0_8_libast_Cygwin_set_PATH_LEADING_SLASHES_for_UNC_paths.patch ).

Please keep the comments intact.

I can write a test module on demand (please open a separate issue for that).

I had noticed that patch in your repo. :-) So I actually just fixed it in a less hacky way, in 5188590. Once you can get ksh to build on cygwin (see #758) I would expect it to work now, please comment here if it still doesn't.

Seems to be working now with ksh93 v1.0.9 (after bypassing the Cygwin DLL+mamake issues):

$ cd //dernt10srv1fs10.global.loc/copy
$ pwd
//dernt10srv1fs10.global.loc/copy

Thank you ... :-)
