I just create symlinks so that in the cygwin universe /c means /cygdrive/c,
etc.  So, not a link of /, but individual links for the drives I use.
These survive updates, anyway.  It's been a long time since I've wiped
everything and installed from scratch, though.  If that's what you're
talking about, then my suggestion would not be helpful ...
