Ok - so I did a re-install and mount -p is back. But a setup "bug" (probabl=
y not setup.exe's fault) was discovered in the process.

I first tried a re-install and once again was told cygwin1.dll could not be=
 replaced because of a running process (thought I had killed everything). R=
ather than quit and start over, I pressed the continue button and re-booted=
 the laptop when the re-install completed. mount -p was STILL broken, so so=
mething sure was amiss. Turned out I had cygserver and postgres via cygserv=
er running. (Forgot about them). These services start automatically (along =
with sshd) when Windows starts up. *ALSO* I have an XWin Server in the Star=
tup folder of the Windows Start Menu. So apparently, one of these services =
is starting up *BEFORE* the cygwin1.dll can be replaced by Windows at start=
up. Weird. My laptop has an encrypted hard disk using SafeGuard. That might=
 have something to do with it. Anyhow, it's not a bug I have time to help c=
hase down (unless someone else wants to take the lead on it - I'll be happy=
 to help in that case). Otherwise let this be a lesson to ALL - setup "best=
 practice" is to shut down ALL cygwin processes and services BEFORE running=
 setup.exe. Otherwise ... "your mileage may vary" ...
