Look in the mail list archives.  Some lisp code to make the Win32 version of
Emacs be able to grok the Cygwin mount table and its path mappings has been 
posted several times, although not necessarily recently.  The mail list 
archives is always a good place to look for information in general, in 
addition to the Emacs FAQ/mail archives in this case.
