Solution: Mount /tmp to the windows tempdir
mount -bu $(cygpath -m $TEMP) /tmp
mount -bu $WINDIR/Temp /tmp
Thank you. This worked just fine. I now possess a superb portable CD with
stats, emacs, vim, Perl, LaTeX, ..., which I can use in any Windows machine
with a CD drive. CD still only

No, I now think (on looking at a file /cygdrive/c/tmp/XWin.log, brought into
being by defining the link described in my previous email) that the problem
seems not to be with the creation of this file, but with the creation of the
directory /tmp/.X11-unix. (The file XWin.log says:
What is your display variable set to?
localhost:0.0
Do you have a /tmp/.X11-unix/X0
file on your memory stick?
Yes: so I wonder whether in trying to make a CD version, as well as
re-routing the file /tmp/XWin.log, I ought also to try to re-route the file

No, you don't need to. Just Xwin.exe -nolisten local.
Thank you. This worked just fine. I take the point about Google-ing - that's
how I learned that diverting tmp/XWin.log might help. I didn't see the
-nolisten local advice ...
