I have a suggestion, but I am not sure it will work. The suggestion is
not to mount d:\ to /d. We have set up the set such that it will be able
to understand that situation. Just cd d: in cygwin. cd
matti/projects/abi. And then get a pwd. Should look something likey
cygwin/d/...blah. We translate the cygwin/d/ to d:. Under the mount, we
assumed that the files are located within the cygwin directory
structure. So the mounted point is not being translated.
I know this sounds a bit convoluted, but my brain isn't working well at
the moment. If you need some more help, or don't understand my ramblings,
please sent me a note. Hopefully, I can be more coherant then.
Cheers!
