Well, actually you can. That's just what Cygwin uses.
You can either create C:\bin, C:\usr, C:\lib etc., or you can
set up a sort of virtual root directory:
/ == C:\Cygwin\blah\
and then make /etc /bin /lib etc. under that.
Cygwin supports mounting directories on other directories, which
is how the "virtual root" thing works. You just mount
C:\Cygwin\blah as /. Of course this isn't quite like Unix, but
it's sort of similar.
