I don't quite understand what you're trying to accomplish.  It sounds
like you already get what you want without having to use umount/mount.
Either a CD is in the drive or not.  If a CD is in the drive, you get to
it through /cygdrive/d, if there's no CD, there's no logical drive and
thus no /cygdrive/d.
