Cool.

I thought about applying bb_getopt_ulflags, but didn't for a few reasons:

1) my --longopt mechanism is different, it reuses the parse thingy where we 
have to snapshot any strings we don't recognize and pass 'em on to the 
kernel, and it only uses one number in mount_options instead of two (if the 
high bit's set you and, otherwise you or).

2) There was some discussion of better documentation for 
"complementally" (complementary?) and such, but it's not in the last snapshot 
I took from CVS.

3) The mount flags come from a header file, not defined by us.  I was trying 
to find someway for getopts to set some of 'em directly, but they just don't 
match up right.

That said, I'm happy if you can make it work. :)

The example code shows promise, but I need to find a spare lunch hour to 
finish my cleanup...
