Might it be possible and worth the programming effort for System32 and
SysWOW64, as appropriate, to automatically mounted via Sysnative by
cygwin1.dll?  (Not a request - and I cannot contribute a patch.)

I tried using mount (32 bit cygwin on 64 bit Windows 7 enterprise, v.
6.1) and couldn't get System32 and SysWOW64 to contain different files.
Could anyone suggest a mount command line or an /etc/fstab entry that
will do this?  Does it make a difference if /cygdrive has been mapped
to /?

http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2010-07/msg00375.html has a work-around,
but I don't have admin privileges so cannot use it. 

Thanks,

- Barry
