Actually, if you don't mind sucking up precious mount points (doesn't
Cygwin have a limit of 32 or something like that?), I would assume you
can mount (ahem) EVERYTHING in C:\cygwin to the proper /bin, /lib, /etc,
etc location and have / mounted as 'C:\'... but ooh that would be ugly.
And don't ask me what problems it might cause... Better to listen to
Eric's advice.
