You can mount /tmp to be anywhere (including c:/temp if you want).

Well (sorry for OT drift), the main thing was the case-insensitive
filename completion, which is invaluable on Windows. I need to look at
the tcsh source and see if it is implemented within an "#ifdef WIN32"
like block. It would be nice if the feature was automatically also
available in the cygwin build of tcsh ..

This is interesting. You are the second person in the last three weeks
who has talked about using this native tcsh shell (the other was
off-List).
I sure wouldn't find it worthwhile to use a different shell (that
doesn't understand what Cygwin has to do with mounts, and so on), but if
there's one thing I've learned, its that you can nenver tell another
person what they should like in a shell. Each to his own.

No, to <cygwin-install-dir>\tmp. Ditto for /etc.
I had tried this same thing earlier: I was using a mount map where "/"
was mounted on "c:/" (I have only one disk), and I had a c:/usr
directory containing symlinks to c:/cygwin/usr/* or c:/cygwin/* as
appropriate.
And I had /etc -> c:/cygwin/etc, but each time I ran setup, it would
break this link and create an almost empty directory with just
setup/last-cache and setup/last-mirror. Anyway, I gave up the idea soon.
(The reason is because I use a *native* tcsh as my shell, which has some
NT-specific extensions for filename completion (complete=igncase),
titlebar setting, etc. But the filename completion is (naturally)
unaware of cygwin mounts, so I was trying to get the setup to look as
much like the native structure as possible, while allowing things like
"man" to still find their files).
Anyway, I've given up that idea, and just deal with the mental bump when
doing filename completion of something in the cygwin tree. The command
line does one thing, and "ls" does another...

Probably the same as pointed to by the 'DOS' TMP/TEMP environ
variable.

ISTR trying this, or something similar, some months ago, but
Cygwin insisted on restoring the directory when I restarted
(whether it was when I restarted bash or the computer I don't
recall).

Yup, that sounds the best way to me.

I'm intrigued, where would you have it point then ? c:\temp ? c:\tmp ? (i
dont have either of these on various of the computers i have installed
cygwin on.)
I suppose "ln -s `echo $TEMP` /tmp" would work but i quite like
having my cygwin specific temp files in a cygwin specific /tmp.
I would have thought this should be a user choice rather than a default.
(just my 2 cents or whatever that is in pence these days.)
