New description:

[wxMSW trunk + 2.8 branch, VC9]

This produces the not overly impressive result,
"/filename.ext" - the volume name is omitted entirely:

{{{
#!cpp
wxMessageBox(wxFileName("c:\\filename.ext").GetFullPath(wxPATH_UNIX));
}}}

Patch:
- Implement a default case, MSW only

Comment:

Sorry, but returning to this, I don't think it's worth supporting
retrieving volumes in Unix path format -- what could this possibly be
useful for? I just don't see any reasonable use case for it.
