The simplest way to determine where Cygwin is routed is to look at
what's returned from the 'mount' command.  For detailed information
on how Cygwin sets up the mount table, see:

<http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using.html#mount-table>

To answer your specific question though, one level up from where
you put 'cygwin1.dll' would be considered the root.  'etc' would
be relative to that.
