Hi All...

I understand what the default cygwin mount points are...I have found lots of 
references to that.

But I'm curious...why is /usr/bin mapped to /bin and /usr/lib to /lib by 
default?

I see some small effects like only one cygwin addition to PATH for me...but 
is there something bit it does for me?

I've searched for this answer, but have not found anything that answers the 
WHY part of the question.

Thanks,

...Karl
