Remounting /cygdrive/c as /c

[Larry Hall]

Just curious, why do you think this will be helpful?
I'd be interested in understanding your reasoning on this.
I can't see an obvious reason why this would be necessary
but I'm always interested in hearing other people's
experiences and solutions.

Thanks,
Larry
