pathlib does not compare absolute paths from Windows and MinGW as equal.

Windows absolute path: "C:\path\to\tool"
MinGW absolute path: "/c/path/to/tool"
Cygwin absolute path: "/cygdrive/c/path/to/tool"

I consider this a bug, because it's the same bug but 3 different writings and pathlib is not able to identify the equality.


Environment:
Windows 10
Latest MinGW identified in Python 3.6.2 as MINGW64_NT-10.0
