I'm not sure what is a "vob in ClearCase" ... but we have been running
Cygwin from a NT network share for years.  I have a Setup Only install
script that I can send you if you are interested.  The script performs
the following:

    1. sets up mounts (unmounts old ones, if necessary)
    2. defines/modifies environment variables (CYGWIN, MAKE_MODE, PATH)
    3. broadcasts that the Registry has changed by sending
       a WM_WININICHANGE message
