PLEASE do not differentiate between /bin and /usr/bin.  This caused no 
end of trouble during the early days of setup.exe when setup didn't 
*always* follow the mounts.  Granted, setup is much better about that 
sort of thing now, but don't tempt fate.

There's no need for separate /bin and /usr/bin on cygwin.

(I don't care about the procps/ subdirectory, but I doubt others will be 
very happy about it.  cf. netpbm packagin discussion on cygwin-apps)
