To the best of my knowledge, cygwin has never honored a CYGWIN_ROOT environment variable. If it did, it predates both my time on the project and the CVS repository. It certainly isn't treated specially now. In any event, use the mount table, i.e., "man mount". -- Please use the resources at cygwin.com rather than sending personal email.
