Just chiming in with a stupid thought.  There are times when just `for
sureness sake' you want to remove everything, except for /home and
probably /etc.  Wouldn't it be nice if setup provided an easy way to
do that, eg, by offering an optional second mount point
(c:/cygwin-keep) to mount /home and /etc?
