Finally got around to trying that one, but it broke the
tkinfo (Tcl/Tk) script I use regularly. Some experimenting
revealed that I had to add the following to make it work:

mount -f -b -x "c:/cygwin/bin/wish84.exe" "/bin/wish84.exe"
mount -f -b -x "c:/cygwin/bin/wish84.exe" "/usr/bin/wish84.exe"

and presumably I'd also want:

mount -f -b -x "c:/cygwin/bin/tclsh84.exe" "/bin/tclsh84.exe"
mount -f -b -x "c:/cygwin/bin/tclsh84.exe" "/usr/bin/tclsh84.exe"

The FAQ (http://www.cygwin.com/faq/faq_3.html) mentions
using this idiom for strace and cygcheck, but not for
Tcl/Tk. Perhaps these should be noted as well?
