Subject: Changing user home to overlap Windows user home possible? Or a bad idea?

Hi!

Is it possible to have the same home for Windows and cygwin? Using 
"C:\Users\<user>" for Cygwin home setting mount points for users?
Or is this a bad idea? Or is it something which has some drawbacks 
you've to decide to live with? At the moment the most ugly drawback is 
duplication of various data needed within "C:\cygwin\home\<user>" and 
"C:\Users\<user>". Would be nice if I could overlay both.
