Creating a mount point for $SYSTEMROOT seems the > better solution. I'll go with mixed case. The mount point for $SYSTEMROOT will either have to be explicitly created, or it will need to be built into cygwin1.dll. In the former case, it's more hassle for the user; in the latter it won't solve the problem for older cygwin versions. And if we make it the job of /etc/postinstall/base-files-mketc.sh, we're depriving the user of a scarce resource -- a mount table entry (unless we raise the limit, but then again it won't work for older versions).
