I don't think I've seen any rules, but setup.exe only sets /, /usr/bin, and
/usr/lib; everything else is up to you.

I generally create a directories in / then mount each local drive and any
directories or network shares I use a lot to those directories.  You can do
whatever suits you, but I recommend leaving the three mounts created by
setup.exe alone unless you have a very very good reason.

$ mount
d:\cygwin-build\other-src on /usr/src type system (binmode)
d:\cygwin-build on /cygwin-build type system (binmode)
c:\cygwin\bin on /usr/bin type system (binmode)
c:\cygwin\lib on /usr/lib type system (binmode)
c:\cygwin on / type system (binmode)
a: on /a type system (binmode)
c: on /c type system (binmode)
d: on /d type system (binmode)
r: on /cdrom type system (binmode)
v: on /v type system (binmode)
w: on /w type system (binmode)
