Ohhh... That was clever! :-)

I tried the ones with cygdrive - which failed anyway...
So now I'll try with the "trick" above and with the "mount -X", as well. 
That should do it!
Today it's been chewing on "/x" alone (I just moved the entire stuff 
:-/) - and it failed during some "libgcj" with yet another "arg too 
long" error. So now I hope the mount-part does it...

They didn't - and Christopher cursed me for trying :-) I don't blame him 
- one should take the time to read carefully - but in this vacation I've 
been a little to quick...

I'll be back with the outcome - "soon"...
