It wasn't by chance... oh... say... B20? ;-)

Yikes. I can't recall a time when you didn't have to mount directories, and
I've been round these parts forever. That must be some *old* Cygwin!

Don't worry about the CYGWIN var anymore, it's all mounts these days.
"mount --help" and "umount --help" is what you want. Set up your mount
table like this:
C:\unix\bin on /usr/bin type system (textmode)
C:\unix\lib on /usr/lib type system (textmode)
C:\unix on / type system (textmode)
c: on /cygdrive/c type user (textmode,noumount)
d: on /cygdrive/d type user (textmode,noumount)
e: on /cygdrive/e type user (textmode,noumount)
And you're all set. You have to umount before mounting if any of the
directories are already mounted unfortunately (last I checked anyway).
