I *think* I've finished with messing with the mount/registry stuff but
we may still change some names of flags and little things like that.
There have been a lot of changes.

For this reason, I do NOT recommend upgrading at this time but if you
really want to be on the cutting edge you're welcome to try the cygwin
dll and matching mount/umount from the old snapshot location
(ftp.cygnus.com:/pub/noer/winsup-snapshot/).  The DLL should
automatically copy over old mounts into the new layout.  I don't know
of anything that's unstable in the Jan-26 snapshot but I make no
promises and something may well bite you...
