Support for storage that isn't mounted as drive letter #47

Mount points and other possibilities exist to make storage with a filesystem available. WDS is in principle capable of displaying their contents.

Note: this ticket is not about mobile phones and cameras.

Yep, that's correct.

No quick hack, though. What mountvol does can be done programmatically, but it only covers part of the problem then.

Original comment by Roman Starkov (Bitbucket: rstarkov, GitHub: rstarkov):

All fucntions supporting UNC paths should work fine with letterless volume paths like "\?\Volume{}", so this might not even require that much work. Even a very quick hack like running "mountvol" to populate the volume list including volumes with no mount points or those that only have NTFS directories as mount points might be good enough.
