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.
