I think we're sending a mixed message about textmode mounts these days
when it is one of the "solutions" to make bash understand CRLF scripts.

And, as much as I like not offering people this option, I think we'll be
flooded with user requests if we delete it.

OTOH, maybe including something like:

'See "man mount" for details about how to change the characteristics of
the cygwin root or to mount additional directories.'

would be sufficient.
