    Why,

    I would like to have two identical installations of software
    running in Cygwin: the official one on D: and
    development version on E:. Both should have sshd server.

    I quess "change root" would do fine: depending which user
    logs on, the root and thereby all accessible directories
    below are physically either on D:- or E: -drive only.

    True, each ssh user can have his own "environment" -file, but...
