Yes, me. Every day. Just install (or copy) it to your usb drive and
use the following script if your drive letter changes:

,--- *
| @echo off
| 
| set Path=%Path%;\cygwin\bin
| 
| REM  umount -c; umount -A
| reg delete "hklm\software\cygnus solutions" /f > nul 2>&1
| reg delete "hkcu\software\cygnus solutions" /f > nul 2>&1
| 
| mount -xfub --change-cygdrive-prefix /cygdrive
| mount -xfub %~d0\cygwin     /
| mount -xfub %~d0\cygwin/bin /usr/bin
| mount -xfub %~d0\cygwin/lib /usr/lib
| mount -xfub %TEMP%          /tmp
