"Cygnus Support" is an old entry name for betas up to 17.1 (did you have it
installed?)

It's a global mount table inherittable by all users. You can create a mount
entries with registry editor, and every user will inherit this settings.
The entries are very useful when running cygwin-based CGI scripts with IIS
- IUSR_COMPUTERNAME accout created by IIS is very interesting - it have no
HKCU registry tree at all :-) So, the global table is the only way to
provide mounts to this account. If user's mount entry have different
settings than global one, cygwinb19.dll uses user's entry.
