Jeffrey's mount changes are my mount code with some of the edges knocked
off... he's done a good job on it.  It happens to work around a couple of
known problems in the Lite2 code, so he included them.

The other changes are less seperable, which is why Poul has asked for
a source tree copy (as in previous message: I will try for this weekend).
