No, it isn't right.

`gettext()' used by most of all commands can't find message
catalogs to print messages in other languages than English
without the mount.

`cpp' and `protoize' can't find standard include files without
the mount.

In the current preview, `cpp' and `protoize' can't find them by
another reason, that is, the directory structure adopted by the
cygwin package doesn't match one assumed by the gcc package.

Even if this inconsistency was dissolved, these commands
wouldn't be able to find them without the mount.
