Yes, I've read the FAQ on making Cygwin portable :-)

I'd like to have a complete Cygwin environment on a FLASH
drive, but of course using that drive to compile stuff in
my HOME directory will be awfully slow.

Is there a way to create a symlink of a directory on a local
hard drive to the cygwin /home/username/ directory?

If not a symlink, then some variation of mount. What about

mount -f -s -b "d:\my_home" "/home/username"

and umount after you are done with it ?
