Hi,
NT has an equivalent to /etc/hosts, so I think the cygwin install should
create this symbolic link:
/etc/hosts -> ${SYSTEMROOT}/system32/drivers/etc/hosts
In fact, you could do this to a few other files in that directory, like
services and protocols. hosts is the only one I commonly edit though.
