Well, I thought SetCurrentDirectory didn't work like that,
but if it does then there is no reason why that implementation
couldn't be used. GetCurrentDrive ought to verify that second
character is indeed ':' (preparing for UNC names) but that should
work, too. Using wide character versions would be preferred, though.
So, I guess those routines should work. Perhaps I should rewrite my
patch in order to make use of this kind of routines instead of exporting
stuff from ntdll.
