When you change this field from the default, it is up to you to understand and 
support the setting.

This setting example is only a suggestion, not meant to be used verbatim, and 
means that, for each Windows account at setup or login, under the user's Windows 
home directory, you will create a literal "cygwin" subdirectory, to be mounted 
by Cygwin at the user's Cygwin "login" as the user's Cygwin home directory 
/home/$USER.

Cygwin startup is probably waiting for an automounter to provide the directory 
here, just as if this were a Samba, NFS, or Unix network mount, or a Windows 
remote profile mount set up under 
{$USERPROFILE,$HOMEDRIVE$HOMEPATH}/AppData/Remote/.

Given the use of "cygwin" as a schema also here, this is possibly a poor 
example, which could be better documented.
