A little note: the cygwin POSIX emulation environment uses the same solution to
deal with the path mapping problems.
Additional cygwin supports a mount table stored in the registry to archive the
generic mounting feature in unix. See the examples below:
$ mount
c:\Programme\cygwin\bin on /usr/bin type system (binmode)
c:\Programme\cygwin\lib on /usr/lib type system (binmode)
C:\Programme\cygwin on / type system (binmode)
c: on /c type user (binmode,noumount)
d: on /d type user (binmode,noumount)
Cheers
Ralf
