I really don't want a physical instance of cygwin on this machine.  If
something is wrong with the mount table, why doesn't the mount command
fix it?  I initially created the mounts via:

        - started DOS shell
        C> M:
        M> cd \cygwin\bin
        M> mount -s -b M:\cygwin /

I guess I can just do a base install and then remove the files.
