The Cygwin mount is no actual mount command because it doesn't mount
anything.  It's not an OS.  The mount point in Cygwin is just a
translation from DOS to POSIX path as outlined in the documentation.
The first field in fstab is basically the underlying Windows path, just
with forward slashes.  The *actual* mounting, as on Linux, has to be
done on the OS level.

If you have to attach to a remote drive with username and password, you
have to use `net use ...'.  In case of NFS mounts you can also
(preferredly) use the $SYSTEMROOT\\system32\\mount.exe command which is
part of the Windows NFS client installation.  Due to this executable
name clash between Cygwin mount(1) and NFS mount(1) command, you have to
call the latter typically with full path, e.g.

 $ /cygdrive/c/Windows/System32/mount -h

Alternatively, if the mount doesn't require a username/password because
the mapping is done in AD or some RFC2307 service(*), just use the
SMB-like path (even for NFS) in the Cygwin mount table:

 //server/share /cygwin-path foo binary 0 0
