[1.7] /proc/mounts, /etc/mtab

It would be a helpful enhancement to have a /proc/mounts interface to
the mountpoint data, with /etc/mtab perhaps being a symlink thereto.  Is
this something that could be easily added, or is this a case of PTC?

Nice idea.  I would like to reduce further extensions to Cygwin until we
eventually released the first 1.7 officially.  But a P would certainly
be CT ;)

I just implemented /proc/$PID/mounts as well as the /proc/mounts
symlink to /proc/self/mounts as on Linux.  We just have to add
`ln -s /proc/mounts /etc/mtab' to some base script.


HTH,
Corinna
