Of the top of my head, I'd try the following procedure:
1. Pipe the output of the 'mount' command through awk or sed to
generate a batch file that captures the mount points for the currently
running installation instance.
2. Save a separate mounts batch file for each installation, and
create a separate copy of the cygwin.bat file for each installation
instance (e.g., cygwin1.bat, cygwin2.bat, etc.)
3. Each of these cygwin*.bat batch files would call the correct
mounts batch file before running the bash shell.
Try this out and see it if works for you.
