whilst waiting for a flight at Heathrow Airport..)
I've been considering mapping the mount options into a string and
having that passed down into VFS_MOUNT.
However, the real solution right now is to make mount_$FSTYPE -p work.
Then mount can just wrap mount_$FSTYPE, just like fsck / fsck_$FSTYPE
does.
The only thing preventing me from doing it right now is the lack of
Copious Free Time(tm) :)
