fstab 1.7: spaces in win32path

- Subject: fstab 1.7: spaces in win32path
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
