If you need it ofetn enough, here is a simple script for displaying the
cygwin root:
case $1 in
-w)
mount | grep " / " | cut -d" " -f1 | sed 's:/:\\:g'
;;
-u)
DRIVE=$(mount | grep " / " | cut -d":" -f1):
echo $(mount | grep "^$DRIVE " | \
cut -d" " -f3)$(mount | grep " / " | cut -d" " -f1) | \
sed 's/'$DRIVE'//'
;;
*)
echo "Please specify -w (Windows) or -u (Unix)"
;;
esac
