Re: GNU-Win32 distribution question

I rearranged it so that I only have
        c:\usr
                bin
                lib
                local
                        bin
                        lib
                        ...
                ...

I even put all the exes and libs from the H-i386-cygwin32 directories
to the above mentioned directories.
My mount table looks like this

Device           Directory           Type        Flags
d:\var           /var                native      text=binary
z:               /home               native      text=binary
\\.\tape1:       /dev/st1            native      text=binary
\\.\tape0:       /dev/st0            native      text=binary
\\.\b:           /dev/fd1            native      text=binary
\\.\a:           /dev/fd0            native      text=binary
C:               /                   native      text=binary
