If someone submits patches to do that, it would probably be a welcome addition to Emacs. But we are not there yet. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ That's the enhancement request: Give users what cygwin-mount.el gives them, but cleanly, correctly, and completely, at least as far as possible. It seems that lots of Emacs users use cygwin-mount.el, but Emacs has never offered support in this area. Here's hoping it will. The decades have past, and we're still in the same place in this regard. Hope someone knowledgable will volunteer to DTRT.
