[ROOT] Cygwin setup to install ROOT in Windows

Hello team, can you add a few lines to your page:
http://root.cern.ch/root/Cygwin.html

to call the user's attention they have to "mount" Cygwin drive
at once properly as follows:

http://www.cygwin.com/faq/faq_4.html#SEC45

It says:
You can avoid the ambiguity of Windows paths, and avoid

typing "/cygdrive", by explicitly mounting drives to posix paths. For example: 

	bash$ mkdir /c
	bash$ mount c:/ /c
	bash$ ls /c

Then `/cygdrive/c/Windows' becomes `/c/Windows' which is a little less typing. 

Hope this helps
                              With my regards, Valeri
