I wasn't sure whether mount.exe would work without a minimum registry
configuration already there, especially for the root and so on. If you
say it doesn't mind then fair enough.

So the trick is to write a little install command such as the attached
one and call it with the USB drive letter as a parameter before you
start a bash shell with cygwin.bat.

You could make usb-cyg.bat create a cygwin.bat file on the hard disc
on the machine instead of re-writing the one on the USB drive every
time so that you don't need to re-run it when you go back to a
machine. There are plenty of other ways you might like to improve it.
(I've probably forgotten something in the batch file anyway!) ;-)
