Actually, I tend to recommend and always do install cygwin in
the root directory. It gives the most natural unix like environment.

There's nothing special about the root directory, you just have to be
sure you don't delete the couple of files that cygwin puts there.

Wondering how many others do this?

Also, after this: javac /this/is/*.java works fine.
