Well, here's the default fstab file:

  # /etc/fstab
  #
  #    This file is read once by the first process in a Cygwin process tree.
  #    To pick up changes, restart all Cygwin processes.  For a description
  #    see https://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using.html#mount-table

  # This is default anyway:
  none /cygdrive cygdrive binary,posix=3D0,user 0 0

so it explicitely points to the documentation.  I don't see why we should
move the documentation into the files.  The longer the preceeding comment.
the longer the startup times.  And, you know, Cygwin is slow!!1!11

Cygwin is slow.  I wouldn't want it having to open and read the content
of two more files for no good reason, now that it has to read nsswitch
already.
