Question about / possible bug in normalizePathEnvVar: /mnt/ prefix typically does not exist in WSL #20

This is a question first, but the answer might point to a bug in normalizePathEnvVar

On Windows, it looks like each path in NODE_PATH is prefixed with /mnt/. I'm unfamiliar with Cygwin, but I use WSL a lot. WSL initially mounted Windows drives as /mnt/c/ but these days the /mnt/ prefix is usually omitted, so it's mounted at /c. Might that cause problems with cmd-shim?

I don't know how NODE_PATH is being used, so I'm not sure.
