Yes, and furthermore, you have to have a running process that uses the
cygwin1.dll on the machine.  E.g., if you have Cygwin installed but no
Cygwin processes running, mount will just work, even if there are two or
more versions of cygwin1.dll on the machine (depending on the PATH, of
course).

Yes, that was the idea.
