First create the system mounts as above, then remove your user
mounts by

	umount /usr/lib
	umount /usr/bin
	umount /

then leave bash and rename your temp to cygwin and you are thru.
You don't need to change your $PATH.

For people who want to have user mount points instead:

cd to /bin and do all changes by prefixing the commands with "./":

	cd /bin
	./umount /usr/lib
	./umount /usr/bin
	./umount /
	./mount -f -b e:/cygwin /
	./mount -f -b e:/cygwin/bin /usr/bin
	./mount -f -b e:/cygwin/lib /usr/lib

then leave bash and rename your temp to cygwin.
