Won't this cause core dumps for older programs which might have relied
on the previous behavior? I realize that there were probably exactly of
zero of these outside of the mount program, but I'd rather have the old
mount continue to work with the new cygwin.
I guess this means that we'll have to invent a new
CW_GET_CYGDRIVE_PREFIXES_AND_FLAGS to accomodate this.
I had to do this for my extensions to CW_GETPINFO, too.
Thanks,
