fstab 1.7: spaces in win32path

[Martin Muenstermann]

Hi,

after my last update of cygwin, I found myself in the cygwin 1.7 world 
(uname -rv: 1.7.0(0.185/5/2) 2008-05-25 20:10).

Unfortunately, my mounts have not been translated to /etc/fstab entries, 
so I had to write /etc/fstab myself.  :-(

My problem:
I haven't found a way to mount a win32path containing spaces (like 
"c:\\Dokumente und Einstellungen\\myself") through fstab. Tried 
enclosing it with " and/or escaping the spaces (\ ).
C:\\Dokumente\ und\ Einstellungen\\myself /DOS    some_fs text   0 0

Error message:
  92 [main] ? (2772) read_flags: invalid fstab option - '/DOS'

In the shell I can mount the path using
# mount -t 'c:\\Dokumente und Einstellungen\\myself' /DOS

Regards,
  Martin
