cygwin patch for mc

Hallo Midnight Commanders,

The following little patch will make happy all cygwin users.
Cygwin can have paths that begin with two "/"s --- these are
net directories. They look like this:

//computername/sharename/blablabla...

The two slashes at the beginning mustn't be converted to one single
slash!

The patch was tested with mc-4.6.0 (cygwin's mc-4.6.0-4).

Cheers
Klaus Stehle
