Now that my patch to escape characters in /proc/mounts has been applied,
I'll get back to what I was thinking about back in June.  I would like to
have a way to list Windows volume roots in Cygwin, and it seems to make
sense to me to expose them via getmntent, /proc/mounts, etc.  The way I
see this working is probably to replace the available_drives mechanism for
enumerating mounts in favor of using FindFirst/NextVolumeW and
GetVolumePathNamesForVolumeNameW to enumerate cygdrive mount points.

Before I expend any effort actually trying to do this, I wanted to ask if
this is desirable/acceptable to do, or if there's some "institutional
knowledge" as to why that won't actually work.
