Couple of comments on this:

* Does the X11 stuff get used so much that this level of fine-grained mount options actually makes a big difference? Why not just default the lot, and create a single mount point for "/usr/X11R6"?

* Would it help to add an option to mount to "reset the mounts to installation defaults"? At least for the Cygwin installation drive?

That last option would wipe out all mounts for directories under the Cygwin installation directory, and create a clean set of mounts as the installer would have done. It would be invaluable for cleaning up from botched mount experiments..
