Thanks. The default mounts seem to be encoded in the Windows registry, 
as there is not fstab. It also seems I need to change the flags in a key 
named "cygdrive flags" if I want to change the mount mode of 
auto-mounted drives. Is that correct? Is there an explanation of the 
flags somewhere (well, without having to checkout all the source code 
and search for it ...).
