Oops, I'm sorry, I missed that.  It has been silently subsumed under
"Expose WebDav shares ..." :}

But in fact, apart from supporting the at-sign in filenames, there's
nothing in Cygwin actually supporting BeeGFS explicitely.  Does it
work so well that there's no reason to special-case it when checking
the filesystem?
