The only thing I was changing was the formatting of the mount command.
I was getting rid of the columns, changing the formatting to be more
like UNIX.  This was a simple change of a printf format string.

Mount has always printed backslashes.  It is representing what Cygwin is
using internally.  I don't see any reason to deviate from this.  That
wasn't the goal of this change.
