In the spirit of my other contribution, here's the fix for the above
problem:

    #!/bin/bash
    mount -m > /tmp/saveme.$$
    eval `sed -nre '/"[a-zA-Z]:"/s/^mount\s.*("[^"]*")\s".*$/umount \1;/p' /tmp/saveme.$$`
    echo $(dirname $(cygpath -u c:))
    eval `sed -nre '/"[a-zA-Z]:"/s/^.*$/&;/p' /tmp/saveme.$$`
    . /tmp/saveme.$$
    rm /tmp/saveme.$$

I think this one is slightly faster than my previous attempt.
