For what it's worth, one man's feature is another man's, er, wait, isn't
that treasure?  Never mind.  Point being, make it an option to do
so.  Further, make an option to specify the file to write to instead of
/etc/fstab.  Ie. '-F' writes to the _standard_ file (/etc/fstab), and then
'-f /saving/someother/computer/etc/fstab' would modify the alternate file
instead of the /etc/fstab.  Then again, neither '-F' nor '-f <file>' means
it wouldn't do it all.  Another suggestion might be to define '-f -' to do
the usual of throwing it to the stdout.

Just a penny and a half.......
