/etc/fstab overwrites the default entries already, so, if we do that, it would really just be adding the entries.
...but here's the problem. Consider these default entries:
C:/cygwin / C:/cygwin/bin /usr/bin C:/cygwin/lib /usr/lib
And /etc/fstab only consists of a single line:
X:/cygwin-1.7 /
then, after reading /etc/fstab we have the end result:
X:/cygwin-1.7 / C:/cygwin/bin /usr/bin C:/cygwin/lib /usr/lib
That looks somewhat fragile, doesn't it?
