 Install Cygwin 1.1 from <ULink

-warnings (but you may want to back up <Filename>C:\bin</Filename>,
-<Filename>C:\etc</Filename>, <Filename>C:\lib</Filename>,
-<Filename>C:\usr</Filename> and <Filename>C:\var</Filename> first) and
-choose DOS text mode. If you're upgrading from Cygwin B20.1, running
-<Command>mount --import-old-mounts</Command> immediately after installation
-may help. Either way, you want to end up with your main drive mounted in
-<Emphasis><Constant>textmode</Constant></Emphasis>, and only the
-<Filename>bin</Filename> directories mounted in <Constant>binmode</Constant>
-(you can check by running <Command>mount</Command>).

+mount -f c: /
+mount c:\\cygwin\\usr\\include /usr/include
