You would go to the same place where you got the aforementioned snapshot
to begin with.  Download the DLL sources from there.  Or, just get the
installation binaries which will have the newest version of mount.

I'm not sure why you think this should be empty.  The value of "cygdrive
prefix" is used for drives which do not have corresponding mount table
entries.  That means if you want to access the foo directory on your q:
drive you use:

	/cygdrive/q/foo
