Why is that odd?  'ar' is a mingw application and it must be given win32
paths.  "c:/path" ought to work but "/c/path" will not unless you
actually mean a subdirectory "/c" in the root of the current drive.

Remember that the whole point of MSYS is to do this path translation for
mingw apps, but since 'ar' is reading this file directly there is no way
for this translation to happen.  So any path you give it must be a valid
win32 path.
