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.
