* mount.cc (NT_MAX_PATH): Define.
(longopts): Rename mount-commands option to mount-entries. (opts): Remove removed options. (struct opt): Move up in file to allow using it in usage. (usage): Change text for --mount-entries option. Remove -X option. Add valid options output. (main): Remove handling -b option. (convert_spaces): New static function to convert spaces to "\040" string. (mount_entries): Renamed from mount_commands. Rewrite to emit /etc/fstab compatible output. (show_cygdrive_info): Print "nouser" rather than "system". * umount.cc (longopts): Remove remove-all-mounts, remove-cygdrive-prefix, remove-system-mounts, system and user options. (opts): Remove A, c, s, S, u options. (usage): Remove text for all removed options. (main): Remove handling for all removed options. (remove_all_mounts): Remove. (remove_all_system_mounts): Remove. (remove_cygdrive_prefix): Remove. * utils.sgml: Fix mount and umount documentation. Move description of (cyg,not)exec options to mount table section.

-<para>Note that <command>mount</command> was invoked from the Windows

-
-<para>The <literal>-s</literal> flag to <command>mount</command> is used to add a mount
-in the system-wide mount table used by all Cygwin users on the system,
-instead of the user-specific one. System-wide mounts are displayed
-by <command>mount</command> as being of the "system" type, as is the
-case for the <filename>/</filename> partition in the last example.
-Under Windows NT, only those users with Administrator priviledges are
-permitted to modify the system-wide mount table.</para>
-
-<para>Note that a given POSIX path may only exist once in the user
-table and once in the global, system-wide table. Attempts to replace
-the mount will fail with a busy error. The <literal>-f</literal> (force) flag causes
-the old mount to be silently replaced with the new one. It will also
-silence warnings about the non-existence of directories at the Win32
-path location.</para>
-
-<para>The <literal>-b</literal> flag is used to instruct Cygwin to treat binary and
-text files in the same manner by default. Binary mode mounts are
-marked as "binmode" in the Flags column of <command>mount</command>
-output. By default, mounts are in text mode ("textmode" in the Flags
-column).</para>
-
-<para>Normally, files ending in certain extensions (.exe, .com, .bat, .cmd)
-are assumed to be executable. Files whose first two characters begin with
-'#!' are also considered to be executable.
-The <literal>-x</literal> flag is used to instruct Cygwin that the
-mounted file is "executable". If the <literal>-x</literal> flag is used
-with a directory then all files in the directory are executable.
-This option allows other files to be marked as executable and avoids the
-overhead of opening each file to check for a '#!'. The <literal>-X</literal>
-option is very similar to <literal>-x</literal>, but also prevents Cygwin
-from setting up commands and environment variables for a normal Windows
-program, adding another small performance gain. The opposite of these
-flags is the <literal>-E</literal> flag, which means that no files should be
-marked as executable. </para>
-
-<para>
-The <literal>-m</literal> option causes the <command>mount</command> utility
-to output a series of commands that could recreate both user and system mount
-points. You can save this output as a backup when experimenting with the
-mount table. It also makes moving your settings to a different machine
-much easier.

+<para>A given POSIX path may only exist once in the mount table. Attempts to
