Thank you!

This might be a case of "I want it that way"

Basically the user is not happy to see "/c/export/home" when he does a pwd.=
....

The old mount command eliminated the "/c"=20

Thanks!

A symlink should work:

$ ln -s /cygwin/c/export /export

A mount will also work:

$ mkdir /export # To silence mount warnings...
$ mount C:/export /export

If what you really want is to dynamically map the entire contents of C:
into the Cygwin root directory, I don't have any suggestions.  People
have been known to install Cygwin directly to C:\ before, and that would
basically get you the mapping for free, but doing so is frowned upon here.
