Not unless your program requires "/" mounted as something other than "c:"
and text mode file access.  TMP/TEMP may need to be set to some existing
directory however.  All this can be controlled by your program though if 
you need something special.  Or, it can be done externally by some script.

No but if you run setup and choose the Cygwin package, that' close.  You 
still have to choose things but if you use the defaults then the selections 
should be minimal.
