  mount -f -s -b "c:/cygwin" "/"
  mount -f -x -s -b "c:/cygwin/bin" "/usr/bin"
  mount -f -s -b "c:/cygwin/lib" "/usr/lib"

might work a little better.  The -f is necessary for already mounted
directories and the -x tells cygwin that the contents of the directory
are all executable which speeds things up slightly.
