I've written my own mount command for Cygwin in Perl. One thing to be aware of is that drive letters aren't necessary with Cygwin. You can't say: `cd \\xyz\c$' with Windows cmd.exe. You *can* say things like: `cd //xyz/c\$' in Cygwin. This cleans up many things. If you have the right permissions `net use' isn't necessary! A wrapper for `net use' in Perl is pretty easy to do, including all the password stuff. Those drive letters just get in the way. Don't use them.
