Someone said they wanted a non-gui way to mount removable devices by
label. Here it is. Let me know if it works for you or not. (It's working
well here.)
I'll add support for labels in the gui pmounter, too.

I rewrote the usbpmount script so that it handles sd/mmc and cd/dvd
devices as well as usb. Get usbpmount3.tar.gz from
https://sourceforge.net/projects/refracta/files/testing
These are standalone scripts. None of the notification stuff is included,
but they could be made to work with it.

Problem to come with pmount is, it doesn't seem to be maintained any
longer. I use version 0.9.99-alpha-1 (in experimental at 25 Mar 2011,
still there, install to Jessie). That one handles "loopback" and luks
