Max,

If one took the "change-cygdrive-prefix" approach, could not one achieve backward- or "convention-" compatibility with the symlink "/cygdrive -> /<changedCygdrivePrefix>"?

Myself, I have a bunch of symlinks for all the Windows drives, including my CD drives and diskette.

And then when you run some script which expects /cygdrive, it will break.
OK, the script is what is broken, but the path of least resistance is to use
symlinks instead.
