Whatever. Let me emphasize it: The Cygwin mount points are
needed. When compiling Xfree86 the /usr mount point is hard coded in
cygwin.cf, it can be changed to whatever you like during compilation
but it cannot be eliminated at all - that means a mount point must exist.
Second: the X libraries also use the /dev/tty and /dev/zero mount points.
Without proper mount points, a user will get errors either during
application
startup or during shutdown/abort process.
