I hate to jump into the middle of a religious argument (which this is
turning out to be) but it seems to me that a plausible
solution would be to
urge the maintainers of the cygwin setup program to define a
CYGWIN_ROOT
environment variable for us. Cygwin setup is already putting
stuff in the
registry, isn't it, so why not this?
No. Use `mount -w /` in your postinstall shell script.
