I don't like an automount often overrides flags of a normal
mount. For example, I mount D:/binary to /binary with binmode.

    ~$ mount
    Device              Directory           Type         Flags
    D:\binary           /binary             user         binmode
    C:                  /                   user         binmode

Then I change the current directory to `d:'.

~ $ cd d:
/cygdrive/d $ mount
Device              Directory           Type         Flags
d:                  /cygdrive/d         user,auto    textmode
D:\binary           /binary             user         binmode
C:                  /                   user         binmode

Now /binary is handled with textmode !!

So I propose specifically setting the priority of automounts
lower than normal one like the following patch.
