That's two good points: 1) I didn't write a proper commit message, I'll do that for v3. but 2), why does the order of the list matter? On my system, the order returned by the functions matches my "expected" order (my C: comes before my D:), but I don't think there's any guarantee that that will always be the case. I don't think it matters other than for aesthetics though, but I don't know the motivation behind returning the explicit mount entries in native_sorted order. Is there any reason why I might need to sort the cygdrive mount entries? I could see that getting complicated.
