I'm not sure exactly what Thorsten is looking for in his original question,
so I don't know if it's relevant here or not, but it might be useful for a
portable installation to have a way to detect the drive letter so as to be
able to (re)assign the mountpoints (e.g. from Cygwin.bat) before starting up a
shell or other cygwin app. USB stick drive letters change very often...
cheers,
