Today I found out that you accidentally removed both cases, the
DEV_CYGDRIVE_MAJOR and the FH_CYGDRIVE case. The effect is, that
/cygdrive is not recognized as directory anymore and `ls -l /mnt'
prints something like
crw-rw-rw- 1 corinna root 98, 0 Nov 19 12:23 /mnt
I checked in a patch which resurrects the DEV_CYGDRIVE_MAJOR case.
