Well after doing some research I found some evidence (
http://webcvs.freedesktop.org/xorg/xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xwin/InitOutput.c?revision=1.1.4.1.2.46&view=markup&pathrev=CYGWIN)
that cygwin did not provide hasmntopt so I tried doing this:

Index: exo-mount-point.c
===================================================================
--- exo-mount-point.c   (revision 25926)
+++ exo-mount-point.c   (working copy)
@@ -187,6 +187,37 @@



+#if defined(G_OS_WIN32)
+const char* hasmntopt (const struct mntent *mnt,
+                       const char *opt)
+{
+  const char* s;
+  size_t len;
+
+  if (mnt == NULL)
+    return NULL;
+
+  if (opt == NULL)
+    return NULL;
+
+  if (mnt->mnt_opts == NULL)
+    return NULL;
+
+  len = strlen (opt);
+  s = strstr (mnt->mnt_opts, opt);
+
+  if (s == NULL)
+    return NULL;
+
+  if ((s == mnt->mnt_opts || *(s-1) == ',') && (s[len] == 0 || s[len] ==
','))
+    return (char*)opt;
+
+  return NULL;
+}
+#endif

but apparently G_OS_WIN32 did not resolve to true for me or I did something
else wrong. So I tried taking out the #ifdef just to see if it worked and
then I get:
exo-mount-point.c:192: error: conflicting types for 'hasmntopt'
/usr/include/mntent.h:34: error: previous declaration of 'hasmntopt' was
here
exo-mount-point.c:192: error: conflicting types for 'hasmntopt'
/usr/include/mntent.h:34: error: previous declaration of 'hasmntopt' was
here
make[3]: *** [libexo_0_3_la-exo-mount-point.lo] Error 1

So then I do some grepping and found that /usr/include/mntent.h provides:
char *hasmntopt (const struct mntent *__mnt, const char *__opt);

So now I'm confused why it didn't find it in the first place? Any one have
any ideas? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Nick
