I hope so.  I'm also quite surprised that the problem is specific to
Windows.  If Eshell does handle remote directories in eshell/cd, then
the fact it doesn't work on Windows might be some silly syntax issue,
like some code somewhere expects a directory to begin with a slash or
something.

Seconded.
