Surely, abdul must be referring to the /bin directory stated as necessary
in the readme file; the one that allows #!/bin/sh scripts to work.

the gnu-win32 bin may well be .../H-i386-cygwin32/bin or
..../H-i386-cygwin32/i386-cygwin32/bin but there also needs to a bin directory
in the directory mounted as the root.

	e.g.

	mount -b "c:\\" /
	mkdir /bin
	cp /gnuwin32/b18/H-i386-cygwin32/bin/bash.exe /bin/sh.exe /
	#  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ wherever gnu-win32 has been installed
