If that's *really* what you want, i.e. you want all your unix/linux-style
usr, lib, etc, bin, var (and so on) directories scattered amongst your
win32-style "Documents and Settings", "Program Files", "WINDOWS" (and so on)
directories in your C drive root directory, you should just install cygwin to
C:\ instead of installing it to C:\cygwin by changing the default install
location when you run setup.exe.
