[bug #23742] updatedb tries to index all mounted network shares when running on Cygwin

Follow-up Comment #10, bug #23742 (project findutils):

In an email which he didn't send using the bugtracker :-), Eric wrote:

I tested the new version[1], and when I run the command "updatedb", it no
longer tries to index network shares.  I thank you all for kindly maintaining
findutils, and Eric, thanks for this fix.
