Any chance we can get fossil integration into 9mount directly? Most of
the code is already available in some p9p code that lucho wrote called
amount. It would complicate build a bit because you need libraries from
p9p, but perhaps it could be conditional compilation.

Well, IMHO it would be nice to have it named (or symlinked as) mount.9p
folks who mount as root could get the helper automatically. This
would be nice for the standard Linux admin who is mounting crap as
root anyways and trips over the DNS resolution error because all
they are used to is NFS which mount has always done DNS for.
