Yes, I did this.  As mentioned in my earlier mail, I made a copy of the
cygwin.bat and named it cygwin_first.bat.  It was in cygwin_first.bat that I
put the mounts to the mount points.  By doing this, I can copy the directory
anywhere, and simply run cygwin_first.bat the first time only.

Thanks,
Brian
