The thing that led me to do that is past experience with explicit mounts.

The problem is what happens if I run the script twice. I don't understand 
exactly what happens there, but I know that I got errors about "mount point
busy" and such.

Anyway, this is what I currently did. My current cygwin.bat:

set HOME=p:\
set LOGNAME=tzafrir
n:\bin\mount n:/ /
n:\bin\mount p:/tmp /tmp
n:\bin\bash --login -i


Probably could be improved, but it sort-of works for the moment. I sort-of got 
and X server&ssh up-and-running. 

I still only consider it sort-of works, as I currently have many problems.

For instance, 'startx' doesn't work, due to some X authorization problem.
Maybe because mcooky is missing. And I still have to create /home/tzafrir
so I can mount my home directory on it.
