That's the idea and the reason we don't write a / entry to /etc/fstab at
all anymore. The default mount point setup, without having to write
anything to /etc/fstab is this:
- Check for Cygwin DLL path, for instance C:/cygwin/bin/cygwin1.dll.
- Strip DLL name and parent dir --> C:/cygwin
- Create default mount points from here:
C:/cygwin / whatever binary,auto 0 0
C:/cygwin/bin /usr/bin whatever binary,auto 0 0
C:/cygwin/lib /usr/lib whatever binary,auto 0 0
