     This helps - a little.  The text for 'mount --help' describes some
ways to modify cygdrive, but could have stood a little more text.  I
had to guess, and wound up with:

$mount -b -s --change-cygdrive-prefix /cygdrive

    ...which changed my cygdrive flags to 0x00000022.  Does this mean
binary mode? 'mount --show-cygdrive-prefix' doesn't report flags (is
this a bug?).

    I vote for FAQ, whether or not setup gets changed, and I'm not sure
that it should be changed.  Consider someone who likes the /cygdrive
naming scheme, uses binary mode for almost everything, and only uses
mount to mount drives in text mode.  If setup were to interpret the
mode flags, it would interpret incorrectly for such a user, who would
have to reset the mount structure after every upgrade.  Also, you might
want to include the info on how to interpret the cygdrive flags in the
FAQ.
