Cygwin: mapping your Windows drives

So there we are again. You are using cygwin to perform some handy unix tasks on Windows. Unfortunately, the initial mapping of the Windows drives in Cygwin is a bit uncomfortable via /cygdrive/ (e.g. /cygdrive/c). I like to place some symbolic links such as /c to access my C-Drive on Windows to make my life with cygwin a bit easier. Here are the commands:

ln -s /cygdrive/c /c
ln -s /cygdrive/k /k
ln -s /cygdrive/l /l
ln -s /cygdrive/o /o
