Use of 'Cygnus' refers to 20+ years ago when Cygwin was a product.
CYGDRIVE=`mount -p | tail -1 | awk '{print $1}' | sed -e 's%/$%%'`
WL_HOME_CYGWIN=`echo $WL_HOME | sed "s#\([a-zA-Z]\):#${CYGDRIVE}/\1#g"`

Hard to say why Oracle's script is written this way. Standard Cygwin tool for
file names conversion is cygpath. Instead of using sed, one can write
WL_HOME_CYGWIN=`cygpath -u $WL_HOME`
- simpler and the result will be more consistent. Example
$ WL_HOME='C:\some\dir\subdir' # Windows path
$ echo "$WL_HOME" | sed "s#\([a-zA-Z]\):#/cygdrive/c/\1#g"
/cygdrive/c/C\some\dir\subdir # mixed forward and back slashes
$ cygpath -u "$WL_HOME"
/cygdrive/c/some/dir/subdir # pretty Cygwin path
Especially note the cygpath -U -> /proc/cygdrive/, -a -> /..., and -p path
conversion options should be used as appropriate: try all three!
