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?
Are there any features in 1.7 that will make a portable
cygwin easier to maintain?

This really has nothing to do with cygwin-apps. Use the cygwin list.

Except that I was asking if 1.7 had some hooks to make this
configuration easier to deal with, and 1.7 is not generally
out there yet.
Either way, I'll resend on to the core cygwin list.

This isn't the "discuss anything about 1.7" mailing list. You had
questions that had nothing to do with the express purpose of this list.
