A symlink should work:
$ ln -s /cygwin/c/export /export
A mount will also work:
$ mkdir /export # To silence mount warnings...
$ mount C:/export /export
If what you really want is to dynamically map the entire contents of C:
into the Cygwin root directory, I don't have any suggestions. People
have been known to install Cygwin directly to C:\ before, and that would
basically get you the mapping for free, but doing so is frowned upon here.
