Tim Hockin and some other people at Sun are implementing an automounter
from scratch.  I don't recall much about the design, other than that it
seemed a bit inspired by hotplug (i.e. run a program to handle a mount/
unmount request).  The only reaction I've seen was from HPA, who wasn't
terribly impressed.
