The second loop would have to go back over the list created by the first
loop, to see if the volume it's trying to add already has an entry, and if
so extend its dosmount linked list with additional (non-drive-letter
roots) mounts for that volume.  I guess it only needs to do that if there
are any volumes which have both drive-letter-root AND
non-drive-letter-root mounts, so that's not TOO bad.

I'll try to make a patch for this.
