This isn't a good way to 

what if the file c:\bin\sh exists on Windows?  

mkdir c:\bin
echo > c:\bin\sh
GetFileAttributesA("/bin/sh"); returns FILE_ATTRIBUTE_ARCHIVE (0x20)

Unix style paths on Windows refer to the current drive.

These tests are broken then.

The only valid part of this bug report is that Z: is searched when a unix style
path is used, but it shouldn't be unless it's the current drive.  There's
already another bug report open about this.
