I like the idea of it at least saving mounts. And the paths should work
(note the "bin"). :)

------ BEGIN gen-uninst.sh ------
#!/bin/sh
CYGDIR="`/bin/cygpath -aw /`"
mount -m > /saved-mounts.sh
cat > /uninstall.bat <<EOF
$CYGDIR\\bin\\umount -s -A
$CYGDIR\\bin\\umount -A
copy $CYGDIR\\bin\\cygwin1.dll $CYGDIR\\bin\\regtool.exe %TEMP%
copy $CYGDIR\\saved-mounts.sh %TEMP%
$CYGDIR\\bin\\rm -rf /
del /s $CYGDIR
%TEMP%\\regtool remove "/HKLM/Software/Cygnus Solutions"
%TEMP%\\regtool remove "/HKCU/Software/Cygnus Solutions"
del %TEMP%\\cygwin1.dll %TEMP%\\regtool.exe
EOF
