  Correct.  Cygwin relies entirely on the underlying 'doze OS for file-system
support, device drivers, and so on.  Since there is no 'doze support for jffs2,
there is no way to format and mount such a filesystem under cygwin.

  That's because ttere are several projects mirrored there.  If you look at the
top level directory listing at http://www.cygwin.mirrors.pair.com/, you'll see
that it has a copy of the entire sourceware.org directory tree.  Only stuff
under the cygwin subdirectory is cygwin related; the stuff under jffs2 is indeed
Linux-targeted.
