+       * w32.c (getwd): Adjust commentary about startup_dir.
+       (init_environment): Always call sys_access, even in non-MSVC
+       builds.  Don't chdir to the directory of the Emacs executable.
+       This undoes code from 1997 which was justified by the need to
+       "avoid conflicts when removing and renaming directories".  But its
+       downside was that every relative file name was being interpreted
+       relative to the directory of the Emacs executable, which can never
+       be TRT.  In particular, it broke sys_access when called with
+       relative file names.
+       (sys_access): Map GetLastError to errno.
