A FSSTD for cygwin32 is another good idea! I spent some time with the version
2 FSSTD (which is now called "Filesystem Hierarchy Standard" in order to decide
on some sort of compromise file system to create for my cygwin32 file hierarchy.
Clearly, a hierarchy on NT has its own problems and compromises.
Hopefully, any approach to this, and distribution, will allow the Cygnus file
system root ( / ) to be somewhere a tier or two below C:/ on the native file
system. In my case, I'm using Cygwin for my own comfort and productivity, but
the top level file system structure is supposed to be the same across my
company. Thus, my / is at something like C:/DATA/<payrollnumber>/cygnus.
It would sure be nice to standardize below /, however.

Okay, any interest in writing a first draft and posting it for
discussion? :)
