Hi all.
I want to copy my Cygwin installation on my SD card. Since it's formed 
by many small files, and my flash memory performance is very poor with 
such files, I was wondering if there is some way to mount a tar file, or 
something like, even if in read-only way, searching in the archive if 
the file is not found in the "normal" directory and writing everything 
in the latter.

Thank you,
Ignazio
